BILL NUMBER: AB 3060 CHAPTERED 07/01/08 CHAPTER 55 FILED WITH SECRETARY OF STATE JULY 1, 2008 APPROVED BY GOVERNOR JULY 1, 2008 PASSED THE SENATE JUNE 19, 2008 PASSED THE ASSEMBLY MAY 5, 2008 INTRODUCED BY Committee on Labor and Employment (Swanson (Chair), DeSaulnier, Fuentes, Laird, Leno, and Ruskin) MARCH 3, 2008 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.
