Bill
AI Summary
- Labor pools operating labor halls must provide restroom facilities, drinking water, and sufficient seating for workers waiting for job assignments
- A labor pool meets restroom and drinking water requirements if its facilities comply with minimum requirements for public restrooms and drinking fountains in the Florida Building Code and any local amendments
- Labor pools may provide drinking water through alternative means such as water cooler dispensers, bottled water, or other similar methods
- Aggrieved workers must serve the labor pool with written notice of an alleged violation and allow 60 days to cure the violation before filing a civil action; the labor pool may cure by modifying facilities to comply with statutory requirements
- Civil actions must be filed within 1 year after the worker serves written notice, with remedies of actual and consequential damages or $1,000 per violation (whichever is greater) plus costs; remedies are now exclusive rather than non-exclusive, effective July 1, 2023
