Farm Labor Contractors Encouraged to Become Licensed by the Labor Commissioner, or Face Increasing Monetary Penalties

By Ramona Carrillo on October 4, 2012
Posted in Labor Law, New Legislation and Regulations, Wage & Hour

By:   Meagan D. Christiansen

AB 1675 was signed by Governor Brown to increase the penalties farm labor contractors face where failing to become properly licensed by the Labor Commissioner. Previous law required farm labor contractors to be licensed by the Labor Commissioner. Under that law, violators were guilty of a misdemeanor punishable by specified fines, or imprisonment in the county jail for not more than 6 months, or both. AB 1675 increased the penalties associated with failing to become licensed as a farm labor contractor, allowing the Labor Commissioner to not only issue citations to violators of the law, but assess civil penalties that increase with the number of citations issued. Any civil penalties collected will be deposited into the Farmworker Remedial account be available, upon appropriation by the Legislature, for purposes of regulating farm labor contractors. (AB 1675; amended Labor Code § 1683.)
