SB 648: Employment: gratuities: enforcement.
What SB 648 does, verified December 7, 2025
The bill aims to amend the labor code to strengthen enforcement of gratuity laws. It would give the labor commissioner the authority to investigate and issue citations or file civil actions against employers who take or withhold gratuities from employees. This enforcement action would be taken in cases where gratuities are collected, taken, or received by an employer or its agent. The bill aims to prevent employers from deducting gratuities from employee wages or requiring employees to credit gratuities against their wages.
