AB 1583: Criminal procedure: jurisdiction.

California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified August 17, 2026

What AB 1583 does, verified August 17, 2026

This bill aims to expand the jurisdiction of criminal actions related to wage theft or labor trafficking. The jurisdiction now includes the county where the victim resided at the time of the offense, the county where the employment contract was entered into, the county where the work was performed, or the county where the business or its locations were situated. This change is intended to better address the complexities of wage theft and labor trafficking cases, where the perpetrator may not be in the same county as the victim.
