This bill prohibits an employer, with very

present an unreasonable risk to business in the form of employee theft.

Authorizes the State Public Health Officer to
adopt regulations regarding the voluntary recall of food that, without

Would have made it a violation of the Unruh

prohibits the use of any language in or with a business establishment.
