Judgment debtor employers: Employment Development Department.

California SB355 aimed to create a new section in the Labor Code that would address the responsibilities of employers who are judgment debtors. This means that if an employer owes money due to a court judgment, the bill would establish certain requirements for how they handle employment matters. The bill was ultimately vetoed, meaning it will not become law.

Supporters of SB355 would argue that the bill was necessary to ensure that workers are protected and that employers are held accountable for their financial obligations. By regulating judgment debtor employers, the legislation aimed to promote fair treatment in the workplace and prevent abuse of workers' rights.

Critics of SB355 might contend that the bill could impose undue burdens on employers, particularly small businesses, by complicating their hiring and employment processes. They may argue that it could discourage business growth and create an environment of mistrust between employers and employees.
