	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Logue

                        JANUARY 11, 2011

   An act to amend Section 2064 of the Labor Code, relating to car
washes.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 132, as introduced, Logue. Car washes: regulations: civil
penalties.
   Existing law requires an employer engaged in the business of car
washing and polishing to register annually with the Division of Labor
Standards and Enforcement within the Department of Industrial
Relations. An employer who fails to register or renew his or her
registration is subject to a specified civil fine.
   This bill would require the Labor Commissioner to notify an
employer engaged in the business of car washing and polishing who has
failed to register of the requirement to register and of his or her
failure to register prior to subjecting the employer to a civil fine.
If the employer fails to register within 60 days of receiving that
notification, he or she may thereafter be subject to the civil fine.

   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 2064 of the Labor Code is amended to read:
   2064.   (a) If the commissioner discovers that an employer has
failed to register pursuant to this chapter, he or she shall
promptly notify, in writing, the employer of the requirement to
register and of the employer's failure to register pursuant to this
chapter. 
    (b)    An employer who fails to register
 pursuant to Section 2054 is   within 60 days of
receiving the notification required by subdivision (a), or who fails
to renew his or her annual registration, may be  subject to a
civil fine of  up to  one hundred dollars ($100) for each
calendar day, not to exceed ten thousand dollars ($10,000), the
employer conducts car washing and polishing while unregistered.
