Assemblymember Alex Lee proposes bill to increase telework transparency

Assemblymember Alex Lee has introduced legislation aimed at expanding transparency around telework policies for state employees, citing potential cost savings and environmental benefits, his office announced. 

The bill, AB 1729, would require state agencies to provide written justification for in-person work requirements and create a public dashboard detailing telework impacts, including annual cost savings, reduced commutes and cuts in emissions and energy use, a press release issued Thursday noted.
