Bill > AB2027

This bill makes a nonsubstantive change to existing California law that protects whistleblowers, meaning employees who report illegal or unethical activities. Specifically, it clarifies the definition of "employer" or "a person acting on behalf of the employer" to explicitly include client employers and other specified types of employers, ensuring that these protections extend to a broader range of workplaces. The existing law already prohibits employers from preventing employees from reporting violations of state or federal laws or regulations to various authorities or to other employees who can address the issue, and from retaliating against employees for doing so, or for refusing to participate in illegal activities, or for exercising these rights in a previous job.
