  1. What to know about SB 1159

On September 17, 2020, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 1159 into law.  In addition to codifying the Governor’s Executive Order N-62-20, which established a time-limited rebuttable presumption for workers who are diagnosed with COVID-19, the bill extends the presumption to January 1, 2023 and maintains the narrow time period during which an employer can rebut the presumption.
