Bill > AB2722

This bill makes nonsubstantive changes to existing California law that prohibits employers from firing an employee because their wages have been threatened with or subjected to garnishment for a single judgment. Garnishment is a legal process where an employee's wages are withheld to pay a debt. The bill clarifies the language used in this existing law, ensuring it remains consistent with federal law, specifically the Consumer Credit Protection Act of 1968, which aims to protect individuals from losing their jobs due to wage garnishments. The existing law also provides for the continuation of wages for up to 30 days for employees wrongfully discharged under these circumstances.
