   An act to amend Section 2064 of the Labor Code, relating to car
washes.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 132, as introduced, Logue. Car washes: regulations: civil
penalties.
   Existing law requires an employer engaged in the business of car
washing and polishing to register annually with the Division of Labor
Standards and Enforcement within the Department of Industrial
Relations. An employer who fails to register or renew his or her
registration is subject to a specified civil fine.
   This bill would require the Labor Commissioner to notify an
employer engaged in the business of car washing and polishing who has
failed to register of the requirement to register and of his or her
failure to register prior to subjecting the employer to a civil fine.
If the employer fails to register within 60 days of receiving that
notification, he or she may thereafter be subject to the civil fine.

   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
