An act to add Section 1208 to the Labor Code, relating to employment, and making an appropriation therefor.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a new minimum hourly wage of $19.75 for "approved agricultural employees," who are defined as non-resident workers permitted to work temporarily or seasonally in the state after their hiring has been approved by state agencies, and for "corresponding employees," who are state residents or other non-approved agricultural workers performing similar duties. Beginning in 2027, this minimum wage will be adjusted annually based on the cost-of-living increase for Social Security benefits. The bill also clarifies that no state reimbursement is required for local agencies or school districts because the changes relate to the definition or penalties of crimes.
