Coming out of their recent rulemaking meeting, the California Privacy Protection Agency is not surprisingly finding the question of how to regulate the use of ADMT to be a difficult one. While pointing to consumer interest in requiring significant oversight and assessment, the Agency at the same time must grapple with the fact that such assessment could be debilitatingly expensive for many companies.

Judge Colm Connolly in the District of Delaware has been pressing many of the patent trolls (LLCs that only own 1 asset - the asserted patent with nominal managers who are just strawmen) who sue in his court to reveal the identity of their actual funders and litigation decisionmakers.

The revised law provides some relief by establishing stricter standing requirements, giving trial courts greater discretion to manage and limit PAGA actions, reducing the recoverable penalties, and creating procedures and incentives for employers to proactively cure Labor Code violations. However, the amendments are unlikely to immediately cause a significant decline in PAGA litigation because many of the key terms are either undefined and/or ambiguous – likely requiring judicial interpretation. Nonetheless, California employers should take this opportunity to examine their wage and hour practices and policies and take corrective action if needed, as evidence of such “reasonable steps” will be helpful in defending any PAGA action. This article provides a summary of the key changes and guidance for California employers: https://lnkd.in/erfep-uF #EmploymentLaw #PAGALitigation #EmploymentLawyers

Welcome to EO Radio Show - Your Nonprofit Legal Resource. For the next few weeks, we refresh several of the show's earliest episodes. During these dog days of summer, it’s a good time to bring back some of our early episodes that cover fundamental topics that nonprofit leaders and aspiring leaders need to understand. In this week's refresh of my very first episode, I provide an overview of the choices of legal form for nonprofit organizations that are intended to be tax-exempt under U.S. law. Before we even get to the questions of tax exemption, charitable fundraising, regulatory compliance, governance, and the myriad legal issues that charity and foundation leaders need to think about, a basic understanding of the legal entity is really important. Since this first episode, we've added the podcast to our YouTube channel, so listeners might want to look over the playlist on our channel that covers all the basics and also our broad coverage of the formation mechanics in 32 states.

In this episode of EO Radio Show, Cynthia Rowland covers the rules that apply to a new charitable organization that wants expedited review of its application for recognition of exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS expects to receive 135,000 to 140,000 determination requests in 2024, and most of those requests will take more than six months to be processed. In general, the IRS reviews applications in the order received. New organizations often need that determination letter in order to start fundraising, and six months or more is a serious damper on the ability to launch new entities. This episode will cover the required procedures to follow if an organization wants the IRS to let it jump to the front of the line.
