We have taken a position of strong support for AB 2361 (Jones; R-Santee) as it will help protect small businesses from unwarranted lawsuits related to alleged missing or inadequate signage required by Proposition 65 by providing businesses with less than 25 employees a 14-day window to cure a signage violation and avoid a lawsuit.
SB 2361 builds on our success of Prop. 65 reform from last year, AB 227 (Gatto). AB 227 provides opportunity to cure for certain situations (exposure to alcoholic beverages, exposure to a chemicals created through food preparation at a restaurant, environmental tobacco smoke or engine exhaust in a noncommercial parking structure), AB 2361 allows businesses with less than 25 employees to cure any type of signage violation.
