AB2624 — AB 2624, the Safe at Work Act, is taken up on concurrence and debated at length. The author explains the bill was introduced in response to threats and harassment against immigration support service providers and says it expands California’s Safe at Home protections to cover those workers, volunteers, and related community members. Supporters argue the measure protects people rather than institutions, closes a gap in existing protections, and safeguards privacy and safety for those serving immigrant communities. Opponents contend the bill is unnecessary because existing law already addresses violence and harassment, and they argue it could chill First Amendment activity by restricting citizen journalists and online posting of video evidence. The chair and other speakers clarify that the nickname used by opponents is not the bill’s official name or purpose. Supporters respond that no news organization opposes the bill and that it does not target journalism. The discussion then turns to the amended statutory language, which prohibits knowingly posting or distributing personal information or images of designated immigration support services providers with harmful intent and bars incitement or threats of great bodily harm. The debate concludes with repeated requests for an aye vote, and the Senate amendments are ultimately concurred in.
