Schiavo’s AI workforce protection bill passes Assembly - Santa Clarita Valley Signal

California Assemblywoman Pilar Schiavo's bill, AB 2545, passed the California State Assembly on June 3, 2026. The bill requires a state agency to assess the impact of artificial intelligence on job displacement within the state.

The assessment would include analysis of potential job losses, demographic impacts, and recommendations for workforce transition and retraining programmes. No specific funding or enforcement mechanisms are included in the bill's text at this stage.

If enacted, the report would be due to the governor and legislature within one year of the bill's signing.
