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.
