Summary

The bill adds a new part to the Labor Code that obligates any staffing agency to register annually with the Labor Commissioner, provide proof of workers’ compensation coverage, post a bond and pay a fee. Businesses may not use an unregistered agency, and registered agencies can sue violators for damages or injunctions. The goal is to increase oversight and protect workers placed by staffing firms.
