Where the Pedovores Roam

 

From DLA Piper:

 

"…two bills approved by California Governor Jerry Brown in September 2018 which require training and notice postings…"

 

SB 970 added Section 12950.3 to the California Government Code and amended the Fair Employment and Housing Act. Aimed specifically at hotel and motel employers, it requires at least 20 minutes of training and education related to human trafficking awareness for employees who are likely to interact or come into contact with victims of human trafficking. Among the jobs potentially affected by these requirements: reception, housekeeping, and roles that provide such customer-facing duties as assisting in moving a customer’s possessions.

 

 

As of January 1, 2020, all employees employed as of July 1, 2019 should have been provided with such training and education regarding human trafficking awareness. Going forward after January 1, 2020, hotel and motel employers must provide this 20-minute training to employees once every two years, and within six months of the employee’s hire in that role.

 

 

This training must include:

 

 

the definition of human trafficking and commercial exploitation of children

guidance on how to identify victims or those at risk

an explanation of the difference between labor and sex trafficking, or the difference between the use of force, fraud, or coercion to compel a person into labor and commercial sex acts against his or her will, specific to the hotel sector

guidance on the role of hospitality employees in reporting and responding to human trafficking and

the contact information of appropriate agencies.

Businesses that fail to comply with this section may face an order requiring compliance from the Department of Fair Employment and Housing.

Notice posting requirements affect an array of sectors

 

 

Governor Brown also approved AB 2034, which amends Section 52.6 of the California Civil Code to require certain businesses to post compliant notices in a conspicuous place, either near a public entrance or at a place in clear view of both employees and the public where other similar notices are posted. The bill identifies the specific language that must be included in the posted notice.

 

 

Affected businesses include:

 

 

on-sale general public premises licensees under the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act

adult or sexually oriented businesses

primary airports

intercity passenger rail or light rail stations

bus stations

privately owned truck stops

emergency rooms within general acute care hospitals

urgent care centers

farm labor contractors

privately operated job recruitment centers

roadside rest areas

businesses or establishments that offer massage or bodywork services for compensation and

hotels, motels, and bed and breakfast inns.
