Severe convective storms (SCSs) occur during all seasons in the United States. According to Aon, [1] severe convective storms have accounted for 70% of global insurance losses in recent years, and there continues to be a rise in such losses, largely due to growing exposure. In the US state of Texas alone, between January 1, 2012, and January 1, 2024, large hail originating from severe convective storms occurred an average of 197 days per year—more than in any other state. There was also an average of 49 days per year of at least one reported tornado, where Texas also stands as the leader, with 176 days on average of reported thunderstorm wind damage.
While Texas holds the record for average number of annual severe convective storms, it is also the largest state in the continental United States (excluding Alaska), and severe weather does not stop at state and national borders. |

California’s Private Attorneys General Act (PAGA) allows certain employees to bring lawsuits against their employers—including restauranteurs—on behalf of the state. This can lead to hefty penalties against employers who may be violating California’s labor laws regarding nonexempt employee meal breaks, rest breaks, overtime pay, minimum wage pay, and inaccurate wage statements, among other issues.
The heavy abuse of PAGA in the court system, which has been detrimental to employers, led to a November 2024 legislative ballot initiative that would repeal PAGA in its entirety and replace it with a new law that would alter its structure. In response to this threat, Governor Gavin Newsom, legislative leaders, and multiple business and labor groups recently reached an agreement to reform PAGA in several important ways.
