BOMA San Francisco Members:
UPDATE - August 20, 2011
AB 350 one of the most far-reaching pieces of legislation to impact the commercial property industry in a long time, will be voted on next week in the Senate Appropriations Committee, and possibly the Senate Floor. After that, this inexpedient bill could be on its way to the governor.
Under AB 350, any time a service provider gets a new contract, they will be forced to hire the prior contractor’s employees. That’s right, this bill isn’t limited to the sale of the building, it applies to ANY NEW SERVICE CONTRACT.
BOMA California cannot defeat this measure without the support of the entire industry. Please join the growing voice of opposition to this bill by signing up here, and please call your Senator to express your opposition to this bill.

BOMA San Francisco members from BOMA's Government and Public Affairs Committee (GAPAC) and Political Action Committee (BOMA SF-PAC) met with State Senator Mark Leno to relay their concern regarding California Assembly Bill 350 (AB 350).
It was a productive discussion and one that may yield a number of amendments to AB 350 that will make it somewhat palatable to BOMA California members. Stay tuned!
While BOMA California - of which BOMA San Francisco is a member - opposes the bill outright, we all understand the value of collaboration and open discussion. Indeed, we thank Senator Leno and his staff for their time and kind consideration of BOMA California's concerns regarding AB 350.

We appreciate the Senator's time and we look forward to working with him and our Bay Area elected leaders in the California Legislature on this measure.

Would you buy a home if you were forced to hire the gardener and babysitter of the previous owner? That's exactly what AB 350 would do.
California's economy is still struggling. Unemployment is near 12%. The legislature has real problems to address, like creating jobs and reviving our economy. But instead of solving real problems, some legislators are pushing misguided legislation - AB 350 by Assemblyman Jose Solorio (D-Santa Ana) - that puts government in charge of who private businesses can hire. AB 350 forces businesses to discriminate against their current employees and seriously erodes businesses' ability to control the quality of their work product.
