As COVID-19 slammed into California a half-year ago, Gov. Gavin Newsom ordered a partial shutdown of what had been a high-flying economy to combat the deadly virus, plunging the state into its worst recession since the Great Depression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In turn, the pandemic and the recession spawned a flurry of legislative bills aimed, their sponsors said, at ameliorating the effects on the lives of ordinary Californians, especially those who suddenly saw their jobs vanish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They included expansions of support programs such as workers\u2019 compensation and unemployment insurance, limiting or suspending evictions for nonpayment of rent, blocking mortgage foreclosures, requiring employers to provide more family leave, and making it easier for laid-off workers to regain their jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inevitably, several of those crisis-related bills found their way onto the California Chamber of Commerce\u2019s annual \u201cjob killer\u201d list<\/a> of measures that business and employer groups consider to be the most onerous or costly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just 10 measures were placed on the initial list in March, but it later grew to 19, many sponsored by the chamber\u2019s traditional foes \u2014 unions, personal injury attorneys, environmental groups and consumer advocates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 1997, when the program began, and 2019, the \u201cjob killer\u201d label was applied to 761 bills and just 62 had become law, a 92% kill ratio. But with the heightened tension of pandemic and recession, and with Democrats holding three-fourths of the Legislature\u2019s seats, it was unclear whether the chamber and allied groups could continue that winning streak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the Legislature adjourned this month after a truncated, often chaotic session, the chamber\u2019s record was still intact. Just two of the list\u2019s targeted measures had been sent to Gov. Gavin Newsom, one aimed at protecting return rights for furloughed workers (Assembly Bill 3216)<\/a> and another expanding family leave (Senate Bill 1383)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of those that failed were simply shunted aside without decisive votes and some were watered down sufficiently to escape the \u201cjob killer\u201d designation. The eviction and foreclosure measures were replaced by legislation granting temporary reprieves and the workers\u2019 compensation measures were set aside as Newsom issued executive orders temporarily granting benefits to workers deemed to be \u201cessential\u201d if they were infected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Measures on the list not directly related to the health and economic crisis, particularly those calling for new taxes on employers or wealthy Californians, were among the casualties. Although liberal, pro-spending groups loudly demanded tax increases to fill holes in state, school district and local government budgets, there was only token support among legislators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That reluctance reflected a sense that in a severe recession, Californians are leery about new taxes, and a concern that legislative action could undermine passage of Proposition 15, a November ballot measure that would boost taxes on commercial property by as much as $12 billion a year. After the session ended, Newsom endorsed Proposition 15, whose prospects are iffy at best, but pointedly rejected new income or wealth taxes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Legislature will reconvene in December, Democrats will still be dominant and their nominal allies will have their agendas of bills introduced again. The state Chamber of Commerce will once again choose some of the new measures for its \u201cjob killer\u201d list and the annual jousting of competing interests will begin anew.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As predictable as the exercise may be, we don\u2019t know whether COVID-19 will still be a threat or whether the state\u2019s economy will have begun to recover. Thus, we don\u2019t know whether the twin crises will still preoccupy the 2021 legislative session.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
