LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 815, as introduced, Cooper.
Farm labor contractors.
Existing law requires farm labor contractors to be licensed by the Labor Commissioner and to comply with specified employment laws applicable to farm labor contractors. Existing law authorizes the commissioner to establish and maintain a Farm Labor Contractor Special Enforcement Unit within the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement office in Fresno of the Department of Industrial Relations for the hiring of additional agents to enforce those specified employment laws as provided. Existing law requires the commissioner to ensure that the Fresno office has suitable facilities and sufficient personnel for the examination and licensing of farm labor contractors and for the processing of complaints against farm labor contractors or any agent of a farm labor contractor.
This bill would additionally require the commissioner to ensure that the office
maintained in Fresno has sufficient resources for those examination, licensing, and complaint processing purposes.
