Bill > AB2070

This bill modifies existing California labor laws regarding meal periods for employees, specifically creating an exception for workers in construction occupations while they are on the jobsite. Currently, employers are generally required to provide a 30-minute meal break after five hours of work and a second 30-minute break after ten hours of work, with some exceptions for certain industries or employees covered by collective bargaining agreements that specify wages, hours, and working conditions. This bill adds a new provision stating that these general meal period requirements do not apply to an employee in a construction occupation when they are on the jobsite, though this exception does not extend to employees in clerical or administrative positions within the construction industry. The bill also clarifies definitions for terms like "commercial driver" and "construction occupation" to ensure consistent application of these labor regulations.
