49110
. (a) It is the intent of the Legislature that school
district, charter school, and private school personnel responsible
for issuing work permits to pupils have a working knowledge of
California labor laws as they relate to minors and be trained to
provide pupils with practical personal guidance in career education.

(1) The superintendent of a school district in which the minor resides.
(2) The chief executive officer, or the equivalent position, of a charter school that the minor attends.
(3) A person holding a services credential with a specialization in pupil personnel services authorized by the superintendent of the school district or chief executive officer in writing, or a certificated work experience education teacher or coordinator authorized by the superintendent of the school district or chief executive officer in writing.
(4) If the minor resides in a portion of a county not under the jurisdiction of the superintendent of a school district and does not attend a charter school, the county superintendent of schools, a person holding a services credential with a specialization in pupil personnel services authorized by the county superintendent of schools in writing, or a certificated work experience education teacher or coordinator authorized by the county superintendent of schools in writing may issue a work permit.
(5) Subject to the requirements and conditions in subparagraphs (A) to (C), inclusive, the principal of a public or private school may issue, or designate another administrator in the school to issue, work permits to pupils who attend the school. If the principal of a public or private school chooses not to issue work permits pursuant to this paragraph, work permits may be issued to pupils attending that school pursuant to paragraph (1), (3), or (4) or Section 49110.1.
(A) A principal who issues a work permit pursuant to this paragraph shall provide a self-certification that he or she understands the requirements in existing law for issuing a work permit. The principal shall submit a copy of each work permit he or she issues along with a copy of the application for each work permit to the superintendent of the school district in which the school is located.
