That measure, as well as AB 2716, have gained the support of community groups and labor organizations. But small business representatives said more legislation will only hurt an already depressed business market in California. Ray Keating of the Small Business and Entrepreneurship Council says, "California already ranks 49th for being business friendly. When government steps in to impose mandates like this, there's going to be higher costs." Ma says that wasn't the case after San Francisco implemented paid sick leave. "We have not heard any businesses or business organizations that have come out and said Proposition F has hurt our businesses,". AB 2716 must still be heard by several committees before going before the state assembly and senate. Ma says she hopes it passes in time to make it to the governor's desk by September.
