Amendments Remove Some Bills from 2008 'Job Killer' List

View the 2008 list of "job killer" bills.

Overview

Each year the California Chamber of Commerce releases a list of "job killer" bills to identify legislation that will decimate economic and job growth in California. The CalChamber tracks bills throughout the legislative session and works to educate legislators about the serious consequences these bills will have on the state.

Among the bills on this year’s list are new health care taxes, rollbacks of workers' compensation reform, limits on affordable housing and development, restrictions on the use of voter-approved transportation funding, and a tax on freight movement.
