ASA monitors staffing-specific legislation and advocates on behalf of the industry—but there also are steps that members can take to help prevent harmful legislation. In the latest installment of ASA Legal Line, ASA senior vice president and chief legal and operating officer Stephen Dwyer discusses California Senate Bill 1162 and explains the integral role of grassroots efforts in mitigating the potentially harmful effects of the bill thus far.
The ASA Legal Line monthly video series features a member of the association’s legal team and addresses critical legal, regulatory, and legislative topics that have direct implications for your business. Watch the latest ASA Legal Line video, then join the conversation on ASA Central. The ASA Legal Line monthly video series is sponsored by Essential StaffCARE, an ASA corporate partner.
