nounced its support of the state'Sena-te budget proposal providingfor an 11.7 -percent increase instate employees' salaries."The Senate's proposal. is a

modest- one, given thie high costof -liv'ing in California," J.ohn F.Henning, executive officer of theCalifornia Labor Federation,APLICIO, said."State workers face the same

spiraling price increases in thebasic necessities as oth*r work-ers, The Assembly's propoal toprovide only a 9.9, percent in-

crease is -woefully inadequate,"h1e charged.,Henning also said that the Fed-

eration would call o-n the Confer-nene Committee and GovernorBrown to support the inclusion ofa den-tal insu-rance program with-an the total pay package..The State Senate approved. its

$24.1 billion. budget bill,, SB 1313carried by Senator Albert Rcdda,,chai'rman of the Senate FinnceCommittee, Wednesday.The Assembly's budget Vill,

which also -totals about S24.1 bil-Ilion, was approved earlier this

week.Henning said that the fulll sup-

port of -the California Labor Fed-eration would be brought to bearto seek appmval of the 11.7 per-cent increase for state employeescon-tained in'the Senate bill.He pointed out that 11.7 percent

is not strictly a salary increasesince 0.5 percmrent will be allocatedto pay for existing medical bene-fits.

Califerna's position, noted that"there is a governmental as wellas private interest in preventingthe erosion of that opportunity tocommunicate."

In their appeal to the U. S.Supreme Court, the shopping cen-ter owners sought to portray the-California provisions as somehowan infringement on their ownproperty and free speech rightsunder the federal constitution.The Supreme Court, however,

found that rights protected bythe U. S. Constitution were not

infringed by the exercise of"state-protected rights of free ex-pression and petition."While all jus-tices agreed on the

outcome of the case, JusticeLewis F. Powell, Jr., specifiedthat his agreement was limited"to the type of shopping centerinvolved" and would not neces-sarily apply to less open com-mercial property.But in anzther concurring opin-

ion, Justice Thurgood Marshallsaid he still considers the rightof free speech in shopping cen-

ters protected by the FirstAmendment to the U. S. Consti-tution and considers the SupremeCourt's reversal of its 1968 posi-tion to have been "incorrect."

SENATE B1LLSB 1989 - Maddy (Jud.)- Under existing law, in a civil action for

the breach of a noncontractual obligation, the plaintiff may re-

cover exemplary and punitive damages if the defendant has beenguilty of oppression, fraud, or malice....

This bill would limit the amount of punitive damages which may

be awarded to not more than 200% of the amount of the judgmententered for actual damages.

Under existing law an employer can be vicariously liable for puni-,tive damages for an act of an employee under certain circumstances,as where the employer ratifies the willful and Malicious acts of an

employee.This bill would provide that an employer is not vicariously liable

for punitive damages for an act of an employee unless the em-

ployer actively participated in the. wrongful conduct and was per-

sonally guilty of oppression, fraud, or malice. ..Existing case law provides that the plaintiff in an action where

punitive damages are sought has the burden of proof as to suchdamages and the standard of proof required generally is by a pre-ponderance of the evidence, although where fraud is an element,fraud must be proved by clear and convincing evidence.

This bill would provide, instead, that in any action where punitivedamages are claimed, the plaintiff has the burden of proof andthat the standard of proof required is beyond a reasonable doubtthat the defendant is liable for punitive damages. .-. March 13,1980. Miscellaneous-Bad

This bill would provide that a party to the construction contractand the owner or party on whose account the contract is per-

formed, where the parties are of-relatively equal bargaining strengthand dealing in a commercial setting, may negotiate and expresslyagree with respect to the allocation, release, liquidation, or limita-tion as between the parties of any liability for design defects, or

Existing law provides that a defendant may for good cause ob-tain a protective order requiring the plaintiff to produce evidenceof a prima facie case of liability for punitive or exemplary dam-ages prior to introducing specified evidence relating to the de-fendant's wealth or profits.
