An act to amend Section 88 of the Labor Code, relating to employment.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 649, as introduced, Galgiani. Division of Labor Standards Enforcement: employee records.

Under existing law, the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement is a department of state government within the Department of Industrial Relations and is responsible for administering and enforcing the provisions of the Labor Code governing wages, hours, and working conditions. In 1977, this division succeeded to and became vested with all the powers, duties, purposes, responsibilities, and jurisdiction of the former Divisions of Labor Law Enforcement and Industrial Welfare, which were abolished. The employees of those agencies were transferred to the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement, while the personnel records of those employees remained in the parent Department of Industrial Relations.

This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to those provisions.
