The California Chamber of Commerce released its annual list of "job killer" bills last week, calling attention to the negative impact that 23 proposed measures would have on California’s competitiveness and job climate if they were to become law. The CalChamber also unveiled a new, one-of-a-kind website—CAJobKillers.com—which will highlight California’s job-killing proposals, policies, regulations and legislators.

"This year’s ‘job killer’ list includes 23 bills that threaten to create further hardships and costs for private sector job creators in a time of unprecedented unemployment," said Allan Zaremberg, CalChamber president and CEO.

"Businesses are clamoring for common sense proposals and a return to reason in California. In a state where we need to do everything possible to improve the economy, it is imperative that legislators stop introducing and passing bills that cost jobs and erode the quality of life for all Californians," Zaremberg said.

CalChamber’s new website, www.CAJobKillers.com, will serve as a clearinghouse for all information related to those bills, regulations and policy makers deemed to be a threat to California’s ability to retain and create jobs.
