Summary

Existing law regulates various aspects of the workplace and employee safety and health. Chapter 212 of the Statutes of 2015, which will become operative on January 1, 2016, will, upon a change in control of a grocery establishment, require an incumbent grocery employer to prepare a list of specified eligible grocery workers for a successor grocery employer and would require the successor grocery employer to hire from this list during a 90-day transition period. Chapter 212 of the Statutes of 2015 defines a "grocery establishment" to mean a retail store in this state that is over 15, 000 square feet in size and that sells primarily household foodstuffs for offsite consumption, as specified. This bill additionally would include in that definition that a grocery establishment does not include a retail store that has ceased operations for 6 months or more. This bill would incorporate changes to Section 2502 of the Labor Code, as added by Section 1 of Chapter 212 of the Statutes of 2015, that would become operative only if the earlier chaptered bill becomes operative.
