CONTINUED EXPANSION OF CALIFORNIA’S PRIVATE ATTORNEYS GENERAL ACT LEADS TO TRADE GROUP’S CONSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGE, 60 SANTA CLARA L. REV. 397 (2020). Available at: https://digitalcommons.law.scu.edu/lawreview/vol60/iss2/5 This Case Note is brought to you for free and open access by the Journals at Santa Clara Law Digital Commons.

HAS PAGA MET ITS FINAL MATCH? CONTINUED EXPANSION OF CALIFORNIA’S PRIVATE ATTORNEYS GENERAL ACT LEADS TO TRADE GROUP’S CONSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGE Ivan Muñoz* In 2003, California enacted the Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”) in response to its inability to enforce its labor code amid rapid expansion of its workforce. What was traditionally a responsibil- ity of the Attorney General, private plaintiffs could now sue their em- ployers for alleged violations of the labor code. The law was received with much controversy, and to this day, there are growing concerns that it has become an extortive mechanism for plaintiffs at the expense of the business community. This Note traces the historical development of the law by investi- gating its expansion in both the legislature and judiciary.

  • California Elections and Community College Measures November 2016 Election Round up November 14, 2016
    California Elections and Community College Measures November 2016 Election Round Up November 14, 2016 OVERVIEW While the election was last week, ballots are still being counted and final certified results are due to the Secretary of State for presidential electors on December 6, 2016, and for all other state contests on December 9, 2016. The Secretary of State will certify the statewide results by December 16, 2016. Until the results are certified, the outcome of close races may change from what is presented below. Focusing on results affecting California Community Colleges, the election provided mostly positive results including the passage of the statewide bond measure, Proposition 51, as well as a number of local bonds. Californians passed several tax measures including Proposition 55, which will continue to provide funding for education. Voters in San Francisco passed an extension of the parcel tax to help fund the City College of San Francisco as well as another local measure that increases the transfer tax rate for sales of residential and commercial properties. Proponents state, that with the passage of this measure, the City of San Francisco could provide free community college. Funds from this local measure will go to the City’s general fund; however, in July, the Board of Supervisors passed a resolution making the City College of San Francisco free for residents a top priority for the new revenue. If results hold in the State Assembly, the Democrats will have gained a supermajority with three seats switching party hands. However, this could change because one of those seats remains a close contest in Assembly District 55 and all three changes are needed for a supermajority.

  • Pickup Opportunity
    TO: Flip the 49th! Neighbors in Action FROM: FM3 Research RE: 49th California Congressional District Survey Results DATE: February 21, 2018 A recently conducted survey among likely voters in California’s 49th Congressional District demonstrates that this seat offers an excellent opportunity for a strong Democratic candidate be elected in November. However, this survey also suggests that the current crowded field of candidates – Democrats and Republicans – presents a significant hurdle to achieving the goal of “flipping the 49th.” Pickup Opportunity The mood of CD49 voters is highly negative towards Donald Trump and the Republican brand itself. As Figure 1 shows, nearly six in ten regard Trump unfavorably, and it should be noted that a majority (51%) holds a “very” unfavorable opinion of the president. Another indication of how this coastal Southern California district, which was historically the geographic base of the conservative movement in the state, has changed is that nearly half (47%) regard the California Republican Party unfavorably. Figure 1: Favorability Ratings Total Total Can’t Rate/ Person/Organization Favorable Unfavorable Don’t Know Donald Trump 41% 58% 1% The California Republican Party 41% 47% 12% The generic Congressional ballot test shows the Democratic Party and its allies well-positioned for a victory in November. Currently, the Democratic candidate holds a seven-point lead (48%-41%) over a generic Republican candidate (see Figure 2). Further evidence of this advantage is the preference for a Democratic candidate
