Whistleblower protection bill gets Assembly committee approval



On Tuesday, the Assembly Judiciary Committee on a party line vote passed a measure that would protect University of California employees who report wrongdoing from employer retaliation.

Supported by CNPA, the bill, SB 650 by Senator Leland Yee (D-San Francisco), would overturn a recent California Supreme Court ruling that said UC employees cannot sue for damages under the state’s whistleblower protection laws, so long as the university itself reviews the complaints in a timely fashion. SB 650 would give UC employees the same rights as employees of the CSU and the state.

SB 650 heads to the Assembly floor.
