California lawmakers have revived a stall bill aimed at protecting businesses and employees from smash-and-grab robberies.
"What we are saying with this bill is: My God, we don't even have the basic protocols in place for violence that we have for earthquakes and fires," said state Sen. Dave Cortese, who authored Senate Bill 553.
The proposed legislation would require all businesses create plans and provide extensive training to deal with any workforce violence. The bill came about after a mass shooting in 2021 at the Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority that left nine people dead. "An active shooter that certainly could've been apprehended pretty quickly if the SWAT team could've just gotten inside the door, but there was no plan for that," said Cortese.
Detailed plans would prepare workers for different types of workplace violence, like smash-and-grab robberies. There was controversy, however, over an earlier version of the bill that would not have allowed businesses or even security guards to confront any robbers. That part of the bill has been eliminated.
