The California Chamber of Commerce opposes SB 1372 (DeSaulnier; D-Concord) because it threatens to significantly increase the corporate tax rate on publicly held corporations and financial institutions up to 15% according to the wages paid to employees in the United States, and threatens to increase that rate by 50% thereafter, if the corporation or institution reduces its workforce in the United States and simultaneously increased its contractors.
