CA AB2068

Require employers to post an employee notification prepared by the division when occupational safety and health citations or special orders are issued, containing information about the violation, posting requirements, employer communication obligations, and division contact information.

Mandate the employee notification be made available in English plus the top seven non-English languages used by limited-English-proficient adults in California according to the American Community Survey, with Punjabi included if not among the top seven.

Allow the division to periodically review and add additional languages to the notification requirements based on data from government agencies, labor organizations, community-based organizations, and the division's own tracking measures.

Enforce violations of the posting and notification requirements through civil penalties up to $12,471 per violation (adjusted annually for inflation), with appeals available through the appeals board.

Declare that no state reimbursement is required for local agencies or school districts because costs result from changes to crime definitions and penalties under state law.
