- The California Chamber of Commerce (CalChamber) added five new proposals to its Affordability Agenda Cost Drivers list, which focuses on legislation that could increase California’s high cost of living.
- The new legislation targets cost-effective, beneficial artificial intelligence tools that businesses rely on, suggesting potential overregulation or bans on their use.
- Six additional bills addressing various issues affecting California businesses were also included in the list.
- CalChamber’s Affordability Agenda included no new bills on its Cost Cutters list, which are aimed at enhancing the state’s economy.
- CalChamber President & CEO Jennifer Barrera criticized these bills, asserting they worsen the state’s affordability problem and hinder industries that fund government services.
- The bills opposed by CalChamber include restrictive proposals on AI such as Assembly Bill 2027, Senate Bill 951, Assembly Bill 1979, Assembly Bill 2575, and Senate Bill 1011.
