The California Legislature reconvened on January 3, 2022, to begin the second half of a two-year session. Legislators faced a large stack of work left from the first half of the two-year session.

Computers and the internet, properly used, can be agents of information and efficiency. But used maliciously, they can be agents of terrorism and extortion. Cyberattacks on business in general, and the food industry in particular, have been proliferating, with at least five major food companies being hit with ransomware attacks since 2017.
