| Subjects |
Concerning repealing certain provisions that prohibit an employer from interfering with an agricultural employee's access to service providers, and, in connection therewith, repealing provisions that prohibit an employer from interfering with an agricultural employee's access to service providers on private land.
Bill Summary:
Current law states that an employer shall not interfere with an agricultural worker's reasonable access to key service providers (KSP) at any location when the worker is not performing compensable work and with respect to health-care providers at any time. The act exempts an employer's property from this provision; except that the act prohibits an employer from interfering with a worker's access to KSP through remote channels on the employer's property. The act also removes language referring to health-care providers.
Current law states that the division of labor standards and statistics (division) may adopt rules regarding additional times that an employer may not interfere with a worker's reasonable access to KSP. The act clarifies that such rules must apply only to locations other than the employer's property. Lastly, the act states the division shall not adopt rules that:
- Infringe upon an employer's private property rights; or
- Conflict with the common law rights of an individual to access private property in a time of emergency.
(Note: This summary applies to this bill as enacted.)
