This Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C. memorandum discusses new California employment laws signed by Governor Brown. Under SB 222/AB 210, health insurers must provide maternity coverage for all insureds under individual policies starting no later than July 1, 2012. Under AB 243, farm labor contractors must include the name and address of all growers or other farm labor contractors that used the employer's services on employees' itemized payroll statements. Under SB 126, the Agricultural Labor Relations Board can certify a union as the employees' bargaining agent if it finds employer misconduct would make the chances of a fair new election unlikely. The latter two laws become effective January 1, 2012.
