Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Owners can post bond; buyers protected

An owner can avoid these liens by giving the Labor Commissioner a surety bond before harvest and keeping it for 45 days after the harvest ends. The bond must be from an admitted surety insurer and promise to pay all wages found due and unpaid. Buyers in the ordinary course take severed crops free of these liens, even if the lien is perfected and they know about it.

Wage liens for harvest workers

Employees who harvest or transport crops by their own labor have a lien on the severed crops, products, or sale money. The lien starts when the work begins and comes before other liens or claims. Each worker’s lien cannot be more than the value of their labor or their two weeks of earnings, whichever is smaller. All liens on the same crops or proceeds together cannot be more than the lesser of proved claims or 25% of fair market value or 25% of sale proceeds. If you worked for a contractor or subcontractor and knew the owner’s contract before the work, your lien cannot cover work outside that contract.
