AI Summary

  • Extends the Division of Occupational Safety and Health's authority to prohibit workplace operations or entry when COVID-19 exposure constitutes an imminent hazard to employees until January 1, 2024 (previously set to expire January 1, 2023).

  • Revises COVID-19 exposure notification requirements to allow employers to post a single prominent notice in customary posting locations that includes dates of confirmed COVID-19 cases within the infectious period and exposure location, rather than requiring individual written notices to affected employees.

  • Requires employers to maintain a log of all notice posting dates and allow the Labor Commissioner access to these records; notices must remain posted for at least 15 calendar days.

  • Deletes requirements for employers to notify local public health agencies of COVID-19 outbreaks and for the State Department of Public Health to publish workplace outbreak data by industry on its website.

  • Clarifies that no state reimbursement is required because any local agency costs result from the creation or modification of crimes, which fall outside reimbursement obligations under the California Constitution.
