SB565 would require in-person inspections of employee housing for H-2A agricultural workers in California.

SB565 amends the Health and Safety Code to mandate in-person inspections of employee housing for H-2A agricultural workers in California. The enforcement agency must conduct these inspections annually, with exemptions for certain permanent single-family housing and inactive accommodations. Inspection results must be posted on the agency's website. Housing for H-2A workers must obtain an annual permit, except for exempted housing. The Department of Housing and Community Development handles enforcement for railroad corporations.
