Summary

Existing law establishes various sexual assault and harassment offenses, and provides criminal and civil penalties for each. Existing law prohibits a person from acting as a farm labor contractor, as defined, without a license from the Labor Commissioner and imposes civil penalties for a violation of this requirement. Existing law requires that a person satisfy various requirements prior to obtaining or renewing a license, including providing a written statement to the Labor Commissioner attesting that all employees have been trained, as provided, in identifying, preventing, and reporting sexual harassment in the workplace. This bill would require the Attorney General to conduct a Spanish-language radio and television advertising campaign to raise awareness among farmworkers of the criminal and civil penalties of sexual assault and sexual harassment, and to inform farmworkers who are subject to sexual assault or sexual harassment of state benefits available to them. The bill would appropriate $1,000,000 for these purposes, and would require the Attorney General to spend the moneys within the 2021 calendar year.
