Bill overview
This bill changes the requirements for farm labor contractors regarding liability for unpaid wages and penalties owed to former employees. It reduces the amount of time a contractor needs to have operated with a valid license to establish an affirmative defense against such liability, from three years to one year. The bill also expands the definition of ‘immediate family member’ to include step-parents, adoptive parents, foster parents, half-siblings, and step-grandparents, broadening the scope of individuals who can trigger successor liability. The bill also clarifies that no state reimbursement is required for local agencies due to the changes it makes to criminal penalties.
