On behalf of AARP’s 3.3 million California members, I thank Governor Newsom for signing into law SB 95, which establishes emergency paid sick leave for California workers during the COVID-19 pandemic – retroactive to January 1, 2021 and through September, 2021. California is now only the fourth state to have extended paid sick leave during the pandemic. I also wish to thank Senator Skinner, Assemblymember Ting, Assemblymember Gonzalez, Assemblymember Carillo, and all who voted in favor of SB 95.
