LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 674, as introduced, Petrie-Norris. Division of Labor Standards Enforcement: enforcement power.

Existing law establishes within the Department of Industrial Relations the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement under the direction of the Labor Commissioner. Existing law authorizes the Labor Commissioner, the commissioner’s deputies, and the commissioner’s agents to, among other things, issue subpoenas for the purpose of carrying out the laws that the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement is responsible for enforcing.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the provision authorizing the commissioner, the commissioner’s deputies, and the commissioner’s agents to issue subpoenas and engage in other enforcement activities.
