The bill, sponsored by Sen. Debra Bowen (D-Redondo Beach), passed the Senate on a 23-13 vote and now goes to the Assembly, where it's expected to be heard in June. Bowen authored three similar bills that were vetoed in 1999, 2000 and 2001.
The California Senate passed a bill on Tuesday that would require employers to notify workers if they plan to read their e-mail, track Internet usage or use any electronic devices to track them. The bill requires companies to give a one-time written notice to employees that explains what will be monitored.
