CA AB2738

Expands public prosecutor authority under alternative enforcement procedures to recover all Labor Code remedies including wages, liquidated damages, and civil penalties, with recovered funds going first to affected workers and remaining penalties to the state General Fund.

Requires entertainment events vendors to provide contracting entities with written certification that employees have completed specified OSHA training (Cal/OSHA-10, OSHA-10/General Entertainment Safety, or Cal/OSHA-30) before working at public events venues.

Mandates that contracts for live events at public venues include written provisions requiring vendors to furnish the contracting entity with employee names and training/certification details upon hiring, subject to California Public Records Act disclosure requirements.

Expands enforcement penalty liability to include public events venues and contracting entities in addition to entertainment events vendors, and authorizes public prosecutors to enforce these provisions with a maximum penalty of $500 per violation.

Remains in effect only until January 1, 2029, at which time the public prosecutor alternative enforcement provisions are repealed.
