AB 3234, as introduced, Ortega. Employers: child labor: social compliance audit. Existing law establishes the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement within the Department of Industrial Relations and authorizes the division to enforce the provisions of the Labor Code and all labor laws of the state which are not specifically vested in any other officer, board, or commission. Existing law regulates the wages, hours, and working conditions of any man, woman, and minor employed in any occupation, trade, or industry, whether compensation is measured by time, piece, or otherwise, except as specified.This bill would require an employer to post a clear and conspicuous link to a report detailing the findings of its most recent child labor social compliance audit on the internet website for their business, if the employer has voluntarily subjected that business to a child labor social compliance audit. The bill would define the term “child labor social compliance audit” to mean an inspection of any production house, factory, farm, or packaging facility of a business to verify whether it complies with social and ethical responsibilities, health and safety regulations, and labor laws regarding child labor. The bill would require that report to include, among other things, whether the business does or does not engage in, or support the use of, child labor and a copy of any written policies and procedures the business has regarding child employees.
