Overview
This bill requires staffing agencies operating in California to register with the Labor Commissioner before providing services and annually thereafter. The registration process involves providing detailed information about the agency, verifying workers’ compensation insurance, and obtaining a surety bond. Unregistered agencies face potential denial, suspension, or revocation of their registration, and businesses must verify an agency’s registration before using their services. The bill also establishes a process for registered agencies to take legal action against those who operate without registration.
