    We had to lay off an employee of the foundation after her position disappeared and wanted to contract her for a while To help close out the program she was working on. This bill prevented us because she was a CA resident.

    This is stupid.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      Is this the same law that was going to kill off gigging musicians?

          Why would you want to put people out of work at a time like this? SMH.

          What other times, do you think, would you want to put people out of work then?

            People on the dole, tend to like the political party which gives them the most money?

              They're already out of work. most of them have quit to look for other employment. Try calling uber or lyft in California right now. You will wait much longer and be charged twice as much

                So the solution is get rid of it altogether.

                Okay.

                      This is a case where I can see both sides. Hope they find a way to split the baby to the benefit of all.
