CA AB2961

Requires notification of intent to employ a minor to include certification that the minor completed mandatory sexual harassment prevention training covering prevention, retaliation, and reporting resources.

Training must be delivered through the Civil Rights Department's online course or other compliant training materials, provided in the language understood by the minor whenever reasonably possible.

Parent or legal guardian must certify completion of training and present a certificate of completion as part of the work permit notification process.

Violations of these requirements constitute a crime under existing employment of minors law.

Exempts the state from reimbursing local agencies or school districts for costs under Article XIII B of the California Constitution because the bill creates new criminal violations.
