The 1st U.S. State to introduce anti-bullying legislation in 2003
The 1st version of the bill in the U.S.
The website for the WBI-LC-affiliated California Healthy Workplace Advocates
California made the nation's first attempt at anti-bullying legislation in 2003 (AB 1582). Now is the time to challenge legislators to try it again, to get it heard in committee and to pass floor votes!
Kudos and thanks to Assembly Labor Committee consultants Nick Louizos and Ben Ebbink for getting the bill introduced and understanding the phenomenon that unconscionably afflicts so many voting Californians. We hope to work with them again in 2007-08.
