Existing law imposes various requirements on work performed on a public works project, as defined, including requirements for minimum wages to be paid. Existing law requires the Labor Commissioner, after determining there has been a violation of these requirements, to issue a civil wage and penalty assessment to the contractor or subcontractor, or both. Existing law requires the assessment to be in writing and served not later than 18 months after the filing of a valid notice of completion in the office of the county recorder in each county in which the public work or some part thereof was performed, or not later than 18 months after acceptance of the public work, whichever occurs last. Existing law provides for this time period to be tolled under specified conditions. Existing law generally limits claimants from commencing an action to enforce the liability on a payment bond at any time after the claimant ceases to provide work, but not later than 6 months after the period in which a stop payment notice may be given. This bill would provide a limitations period for any action on a payment bond filed by the Labor Commissioner to be governed by the same timing requirements for the Labor Commissioner to serve a civil wage and penalty assessment. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 1743 of the Labor Code proposed by SB 830 to be operative only if this bill and SB 830 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
