*********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
The following information is revised to reflect amendments
adopted by the committee on August 27, 2015
Bill
Summary: AB 621 would create a limited amnesty program for port
drayage companies that voluntarily enter into a consent decree
with the Labor Commissioner related to misclassification of
employees.
Fiscal
Impact: The Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) and the
Employment Development Department would likely incur annual
costs in the hundreds of thousands of dollars to implement the
provisions of the bill. To the extent the consent decree process
reduces individual wage claim cases, these costs could be
somewhat offset. The bill could also result in additional
collections to the wage funds (such as disability insurance)
administered by EDD, the extent to which is unknown.
