   An act to repeal Section 1453 of the Labor Code, relating to
domestic work employees.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1015, Leyva. Domestic work employees: labor standards.
   Existing law regulates the wages, hours, and working conditions of
any man, woman, or minor employed in any occupation, trade, or
industry, whether the amount of compensation is measured by time,
piece, or otherwise, except as specified. An existing order of the
Industrial Welfare Commission regulates wages, hours, and working
conditions for household occupations. Existing law makes violations
of certain of these provisions and this order a misdemeanor.
   Existing law, the Domestic Worker Bill of Rights, regulates the
hours of work of domestic work employees who are personal attendants
and provides an overtime compensation rate for those employees. The
Domestic Worker Bill of Rights defines terms for its purposes and
requires the Governor to convene a committee to study and report to
the Governor on the effects of its provisions on personal attendants
and their employers. Existing law repeals the Domestic Worker Bill of
Rights as of January 1, 2017.
   This bill would delete the repeal date. By extending the effect of
the Domestic Worker Bill of Rights, the violation of which is a
misdemeanor, this bill would expand the definition of a crime, which
would impose a state-mandated local program.
   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this
act for a specified reason.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 1453 of the Labor Code is repealed.
  SEC. 2.  No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to
Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because
the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school
district will be incurred because this act creates a new crime or
infraction, eliminates a crime or infraction, or changes the penalty
for a crime or infraction, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the
Government Code, or changes the definition of a crime within the
meaning of Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California
Constitution.
