In California, State Senator Dave Cortese played a key role in drafting and advancing Senate Bill 553 (SB 553), a landmark law aimed at preventing workplace violence. The bill requires employers—including those operating in schools, public venues, and places of worship—to implement comprehensive violence prevention plans as part of their safety protocols. To bring the bill into effect, Governor Newsom approved, signed and enacted this mandated Bill effective July 1, 2024 for all to comply. He assigned Cal/OSHA to monitor compliance and given them the authority to cite those who fail to create training for their employees, proactive measures, preventative solutions and preparedness for these unforeseen incidents.
