Effective January 1, 2025, California has prohibited employers from requiring employees to attend an employer-sponsored meeting (or to participate in, receive, or listen to any communications with the employer) about the employer’s opinion on religious or political matters.
“Political matters” in this context means matters relating to elections for political office, political parties, legislation, regulation, and the decision to join or support any political party or political or labor organization. “Religious matters” means matters relating to religious affiliation and practice and the decision to join or support any religious organization or association.
