An act to amend Section 1024 of the Labor Code, relating to
employment.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 3060, Committee on Labor and Employment. Contractors: license
enforcement.
Under existing law, a person without a valid state contractor's
license who employs a worker to perform services for which such a
license is required is subject to a specified civil penalty. Civil
penalties collected pursuant to these provisions must be deposited in
the Industrial Relations Construction Industry Enforcement Fund to
be used, upon appropriation by the Legislature, for the purpose of
enforcing these provisions relating to prohibited employment by
unlicensed contractors, as well as an obsolete provision relating to
mandatory itemized wage statements for employees paid in cash. The
obsolete provision has long been subsumed into other provisions
relating to wage statements.
This bill would delete the reference to the obsolete provision,
thereby restricting the use of the moneys in the fund to the
enforcement of the laws relating to prohibited employment by
unlicensed contractors.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 1024 of the Labor Code is amended to read:
1024. All civil penalties collected pursuant to this chapter
shall be deposited in the Industrial Relations Construction Industry
Enforcement Fund, which is hereby created. All moneys in the fund
shall be used for the purpose of enforcing the provisions of this
chapter, as appropriated by the Legislature.
It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this section to
provide for the prompt and effective enforcement of labor laws
relating to the construction industry.
