	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Committee on Labor and Employment (Roger Hernández
(Chair), Alejo, Chau, and Holden)

                        MARCH 4, 2013

   An act to amend Section 1205 of the Labor Code, relating to
employment.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1383, as introduced, Committee on Labor and Employment.
Employment regulations: local enforcement.
   Under existing law, the fundamental authority to regulate wages,
hours, and working conditions lies within the police power of both
the state and local jurisdictions. Existing law provides that such
state laws regulating these matters do not restrict the exercise of
local police powers in a more stringent manner.
   This bill would state that nothing in the Labor Code prohibits
local enforcement of employment regulations in a manner more
stringent than enforcement by the state.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 1205 of the Labor Code is amended to read:
   1205.  (a) As used in this section:
   (1) "Local jurisdiction" means any city, county, district, or
agency, or any subdivision or combination thereof.
   (2) "State agency" means any state office, officer, department,
division, bureau, board, commission, or agency, or any subdivision
thereof.
   (3) "Labor standards" means any legal requirements regarding wages
paid, hours worked, and other conditions of employment.
   (b) Nothing in this  part   code  shall
be deemed to restrict the exercise of local police powers in a more
stringent manner.
   (c) When a local jurisdiction expends funds that have been
provided to it by a state agency, operates a program that has
received assistance from a state agency, or engages in an activity
that has received assistance from a state agency, labor standards
established by the local jurisdiction through exercise of local
police powers or spending powers shall take effect with regard to
that expenditure, program, or activity, so long as those labor
standards are not in explicit conflict with, or explicitly preempted
by, state law. A state agency may not require as a condition to the
receipt of state funds or assistance that a local jurisdiction
refrain from applying labor standards established by the local
jurisdiction to expenditures, programs, or activities supported by
the state funds or assistance in question.
