California Senate Bill 464 Sharpens State’s Pay Reporting Teeth
California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill (SB) No. 464 into law on October 13, 2025, making significant changes as of January 1, 2026, to the state’s pay data reporting requirements. These changes will increase the pressure on covered employers and labor contractors to complete the annual reporting, as well as increase the complexity of the reporting requirements to include more immediate changes related to civil penalties and the storage of employee data.
