Calif. increases regulation of farm labor contractors and garment manufacturers
The California Labor Code provides for regulation of farm labor contractors and garment manufacturers by the Labor Commissioner and for their licensure and registration, respectively, by the Labor Commissioner.
New law is enacted to require an applicant for licensure as a farm labor contractor or for registration as a garment manufacturer, or in the case of renewal or reinstatement of a license or registration, to submit a statement as to whether the applicant has satisfied all requirements imposed by a final judgment issued by a court or by a final order issued by the Labor Commissioner or by an accord involving unpaid wages.
A person who knowingly provides false information in the statement will be subject to a civil penalty of no less than $1,000 and no more than $25,000, and may also face suspension of the license or registration (California Labor Code Section 273, added by Ch. 256 (A.B. 854), L. 2009, enacted October 11, 2009, and effective January 1, 2010).
