AB 485: Labor Commissioner: unsatisfied judgments: nonpayment of wages.

California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified December 7, 2025

What AB 485 does, verified December 7, 2025

This bill would repeal a provision that requires long-term care employers to obtain a bond and file it with the labor commissioner if they have an unsatisfied judgment for nonpayment of wages. The bill would instead require a state agency to deny a new license or permit for an employer that has a violation of this provision, and the labor commissioner would notify the state agency. Additionally, the bill would permit the state public health officer to exempt certain hospital employers from the requirements if a denial of their license would have significant public health or safety concerns.
