California Enacts Law Strengthening Protections Against Threats to the Workplace
On October 11, 2025, Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law legislation—Senate Bill (SB) No. 19—that updates the California Penal Code to add Section 422.3, a new statute that closes a loophole and includes, as criminal offenses to be more fully prosecuted, threats made against workplaces, schools, houses of worship, and medical facilities. According to the governor’s office, the new law is intended to give prosecutors another tool to address threats of violence.
