A California bill to prohibit businesses from asking employees to confront shoplifters or active shooters has passed the state Senate, in spite of opposition from retailers who say it would add to the state’s escalating retail theft problem.

“With growing awareness of workplace violence, California needs smarter guidelines to keep workers safe in the office or on the job site,” the bill’s author, state Sen. Dave Cortese, a Democrat, said in a statement.
