CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2023–2024 REGULAR SESSION

Assembly Bill

No. 2451

Introduced by Assembly Member Cervantes

February 13, 2024

An act to amend Section 53 of the Labor Code, relating to employment.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 2451, as introduced, Cervantes. Department of Industrial Relations.

Existing law establishes in the Labor and Workforce Development Agency the Department of Industrial Relations for specified purposes and provides for its administration by the Director of Industrial Relations. Existing law defines the designation “head of the department” to mean the Director of Industrial Relations, unless the Labor Code expressly provides that another entity has jurisdiction over a specified matter.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that definition.

Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: NO Local Program: NO

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

Section 53 of the Labor Code is amended to read:
