Section 1205 Of Chapter 1. Wages, Hours And Working Conditions From California Labor Code >> Division 2. >> Part 4. >> Chapter 1.
1205
. (a) As used in this section:
(1) "Local jurisdiction" means any city, county, district, or
agency, or any subdivision or combination thereof.
(2) "State agency" means any state office, officer, department,
division, bureau, board, commission, or agency, or any subdivision
thereof.
(3) "Labor standards" means any legal requirements regarding wages
paid, hours worked, and other conditions of employment.
(b) Nothing in this part shall be deemed to restrict the exercise
of local police powers in a more stringent manner.
(c) When a local jurisdiction expends funds that have been
provided to it by a state agency, operates a program that has
received assistance from a state agency, or engages in an activity
that has received assistance from a state agency, labor standards
established by the local jurisdiction through exercise of local
police powers or spending powers shall take effect with regard to
that expenditure, program, or activity, so long as those labor
standards are not in explicit conflict with, or explicitly preempted
by, state law. A state agency may not require as a condition to the
receipt of state funds or assistance that a local jurisdiction
refrain from applying labor standards established by the local
jurisdiction to expenditures, programs, or activities supported by
the state funds or assistance in question.
