Apparently, they get around the 6th amendment (giving the accused the right to confront witnesses against them) by making this a civil case instead of a criminal one.
Also, the original source is an SFGate article which has a longer list of laws[1]. Controversial ones include changing the standard for sexual consent on college campuses (yes means yes) and driver's licenses for illegal immigrants.
I'm more/also interested in the note about paid sick leave.
For a Californian out there -- is the state going to directly provide this benefit, or is it a requirement of the employer? I can't imagine a state agency being able to efficiently manage providing it but the article isn't clear.
