According to him, employers are subjecting themselves to legal actions if they voluntary share information that contradict AB 450. “We will prosecute those who violate the law,” said the attorney general.
Additionally, AG Becerra said, “If you’re a business owner you have now certain rights and certain responsibilities when it comes to the people who work for you… So know your rights and know your responsibilities.”
The California Department of Justice and Labor Commissioner’s Office will release guidance to all public and private employers regarding their responsibilities under AB 450.
Furthermore, AG Becerra made it clear, “We will, as always, work with our federal partners in every respect to go after drug dealers, human traffickers, and potential terrorists. We’re not in the business of deportation. We’re in the business of public safety.”
