Existing law requires a person who regularly transacts business in the state for profit under a fictitious business name to file a fictitious business name statement in accordance with prescribed requirements within 40 days of commencing to transact business. Under existing law, a fictitious business name statement expires 5 years from the date it was filed in the office of the county clerk or 40 days after any change in specified facts included on that statement, except that a change in the residence address of an individual, general partner, or trustee does not cause the statement to expire. This bill would delete the above-specified exception. Existing law requires a business that ceases to transact business in the state under a fictitious business name to file a statement of abandonment of the use of the fictitious business name. Existing law authorizes a registrant who is a general partner in a partnership that is or has been regularly transacting business under a fictitious business name, upon withdrawing as a general partner, to file a statement of withdrawal from the partnership operating under a fictitious business name. Existing law requires the registrant who files a fictitious business name statement, statement of abandonment, or statement of withdrawal to include specified information, including the registrant's name and residence address. This bill would require any registrant who files a fictitious business name statement, statement of abandonment, or statement of withdrawal to include a business mailing address instead of a residence address. This bill would delete obsolete references and make other technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.

Existing state law forbids a public employer from deterring or discouraging public employees from becoming or remaining members of an employee organization. Existing federal law forbids employers from interfering with, restraining, or coercing employees in the exercise of rights relating to organizing, forming, joining, or assisting a labor organization for collective bargaining purposes, or from working together to improve terms and conditions of employment, or refraining from any such activity. This measure, the Right to Organize and Negotiate Act, would ensure that all Californians have the right to join a union and to negotiate with their employers, through their legally chosen representative, to protect their economic well-being and safety at work. This measure would require the Legislature to provide for the enforcement of these rights. This measure would also prohibit, after January 1, 2023, the passing of any statute or ordinance that interferes with, negates, or diminishes the right of employees to organize and bargain collectively over their wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment and workplace safety.
