Summary

The bill lets California farm employers claim a credit equal to the overtime wages they pay eligible agricultural workers, and refunds any excess credit over the taxes they would have remitted. It also forces farm labor contractors to list workers' net and gross wages after the credit on payroll records kept by growers. The measure aims to boost farm workers’ take‑home pay while adding reporting duties for contractors.
