Jan. 31 was the last day for the California Legislature to approve bills that had been initially introduced in 2021 before they are shelved for good. The FAST Recovery Act (AB 257) was such a bill.
AB 257 would create an 11-member fast-food-sector council appointed by the governor and state legislators to review and create workplace standards for fast food employees—including standards on wages, working conditions and training—and to issue, amend and repeal rules and regulations pertaining to fast food employment as appropriate.
