Bill Summary

An act to amend Section 527.8 of the Code of Civil Procedure, relating to protective orders.

AI Summary

This bill expands the ability of employers to seek workplace violence restraining orders by allowing them to request such orders on behalf of a "reasonably identifiable group or class of employees" if a credible threat of violence is generally directed at the workplace or its employees, rather than requiring individual employees to be named. A "credible threat of violence" is defined as a statement or action that would reasonably make someone fear for their safety or the safety of their family and serves no legitimate purpose. This change aims to streamline the process for employers facing widespread threats, removing the necessity of naming each individual employee as a protected party in such situations.
