Added by Stats. 2017, Ch. 460, Sec. 4. (SB 306) Effective January 1, 2018.
(a)Upon the filing of the petition for injunctive relief, the petitioner shall cause notice thereof to be served upon the person, and thereupon the court shall have jurisdiction to grant such temporary injunctive relief as the court deems just and proper.
(b)In addition to any harm resulting directly from the violation of Section 1102.5, the court shall consider the chilling effect on other employees asserting their rights under that section in determining whether temporary injunctive relief is just and proper.
(c)Appropriate injunctive relief shall be issued on a showing that reasonable cause exists to
believe a violation has occurred.
(d)The order authorizing temporary injunctive relief shall remain in effect until an administrative or judicial determination or citation has been issued or until the completion of a review pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 98.74, whichever is longer, or at a time certain set by the court. Thereafter, a preliminary or permanent injunction may be issued if it is shown to be just and proper. Any temporary injunctive relief shall not prohibit an employer from disciplining or terminating an employee for conduct that is unrelated to the claim of the retaliation.
(e)Notwithstanding Section 916 of the Code of Civil Procedure, injunctive relief granted pursuant to this
section shall not be stayed pending appeal.
