California Bill Would Require Staffing Agencies to Register With Labor Commissioner

California Senate Bill 1032, introduced by Sen. Eloise Gómez Reyes (D–Colton) would establish mandatory registration for temporary staffing agencies operating in California, administered by the state labor commissioner. The bill would require staffing agencies to register annually before conducting business, submit proof of workers’ compensation coverage, disclose ownership interests, undergo background checks, and demonstrate financial capacity. The bill would create a public registry of compliant agencies and would grant registered agencies a private right to sue unregistered agencies and clients that fail to verify registration.
