California AB2227 modifies farm labor contractor licensing by requiring surety bonds and sexual harassment training.

California AB2227 amends the Labor Code to revise farm labor contractor licensing. It mandates that contractors obtain surety bonds based on their gross receipts or payroll size, with amounts ranging from $50,000 to $200,000. Contractors must also complete at least nine hours of educational classes annually, including one hour of sexual harassment prevention training. The bill requires the Labor Commissioner to disburse funds from the Farmworker Remedial Account to compensate farmworkers for unpaid wages, interest, and damages from violations.
