Overview
This bill changes the requirements for surety bonds required of farm labor contractors in California. Instead of basing the bond amount on payroll, it will now be based on annual gross receipts from operations as a farm labor contractor, with higher bond amounts for larger businesses. The bill also clarifies that foreign labor contractors will be subject to the same bond requirements as other contractors, and requires the Labor Commissioner to include bond information on the public license database. Finally, it establishes procedures for issuing orders and decisions when a respondent fails to appear or answer a complaint.
