Status: in_force

(a) As a condition of the sale of property to a housing-related entity pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 54239.1 or pursuant to Section 54239.2, the housing-related entity shall provide an enforceable commitment to the selling agency that, if a construction project is undertaken on the property, and the entirety of the project is not a public work for which prevailing wages must be paid for purposes of Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 1720) of Part 7 of Division 2 of the Labor Code, all construction workers employed on the project will be paid at least the general prevailing rate of per diem wages for the type of work and geographic area, as determined by the Director of Industrial Relations pursuant to Sections 1773 and 1773.9 of the Labor Code, except that apprentices registered in programs approved by the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards may be paid at least the applicable apprentice prevailing rate.

(b) If the project is subject to subdivision (a), then for those portions of the project that are not a public work all of the following shall apply:

(1) The housing-related entity shall ensure that the prevailing wage requirement is included in all contracts for the performance of all construction work.

(2) All contractors and subcontractors shall pay to all construction workers employed in the execution of the work at least the general prevailing rate of per diem wages, except that apprentices registered in programs approved by the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards may be paid at least the applicable apprentice prevailing rate.

(3) Except as provided in paragraph (5), all contractors and subcontractors shall maintain and verify payroll records pursuant to Section 1776 of the Labor Code and make those records available for inspection and copying as provided therein.

(4) Except as provided in paragraph (5), the obligation of the contractors and subcontractors to pay prevailing wages may be enforced by the Labor Commissioner through the issuance of a civil wage and penalty assessment pursuant to Section 1741 of the Labor Code, which may be reviewed pursuant to Section 1742 of the Labor Code, within 18 months after the completion of the project, or by an underpaid worker through an administrative complaint or civil action, or by a joint labor-management committee though a civil action under Section 1771.2 of the Labor Code. If a civil wage and penalty assessment is issued, the contractor, subcontractor, and surety on a bond or bonds issued to secure the payment of wages covered by the assessment shall be liable for liquidated damages pursuant to Section 1742.1 of the Labor Code.

(5) Paragraphs (3) and (4) shall not apply if all contractors and subcontractors performing work on the project are subject to a project labor agreement that requires the payment of prevailing wages to all construction workers employed in the execution of the project and provides for enforcement of that obligation through an arbitration procedure. For purposes of this paragraph, “project labor agreement” has the same meaning as set forth in paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 2500 of the Public Contract Code.

(6) Notwithstanding subdivision (c) of Section 1773.1 of the Labor Code, the requirement that employer payments not reduce the obligation to pay the hourly straight time or overtime wages found to be prevailing shall not apply if otherwise provided in a bona fide collective bargaining agreement covering the worker. The requirement to pay at least the general prevailing rate of per diem wages does not preclude use of an alternative workweek schedule adopted pursuant to Section 511 or 514 of the Labor Code.

Any protest pertaining to a levy made pursuant to a financing act shall be heard and shall have the force and effect provided in the financing act. Any protest pertaining to a contingent assessment shall be in writing, contain a description of the property in which each signer is interested, sufficient to identify the property, and, if the signers are not shown on the last equalized assessment roll as the owners of the property, contain, or be accompanied by, written evidence that the signers are the owners of the property. All of the protests shall be delivered to the clerk and no other protests or objections shall be considered.

(b) At the time set for hearing protests, the legislative body shall proceed to hear and pass upon all protests so made and its decision shall be final and conclusive. The legislative body may adjourn the hearings from time to time. Any protest may be withdrawn, in writing, by the owner making the protest at any time prior to the conclusion of the protest hearing.

(e) If it is necessary to determine whether any or all of the signers of written protests are the owners of property to be assessed, in order to find whether a majority protest exists, the legislative body shall make that determination from the last equalized assessment roll, any written evidence submitted with a written protest, and any other evidence received at the hearing. The legislative body shall be under no duty to obtain or consider any other evidence as to ownership of property and its determination of ownership shall be final and conclusive.

(f) If no written protests have been delivered to the clerk up to the hour set for hearing protests, if protests have been found by the legislative body to be insufficient or have been overruled, or if protests against the extent of the proposed district have been heard and denied, the legislative body shall immediately have jurisdiction to order the contingent assessment to be levied, and to enter into a proposed reimbursement agreement.

(g) Nothing in this chapter prohibits the legislative body, within the one-year period referred to in subdivision (d), from commencing and carrying on new proceedings for the levy of the proposed contingent assessment or entry into the proposed reimbursement agreement which was subject to protest if the legislative body finds, by the affirmative vote of four-fifths of its members, that the owners of a majority of the property within the area of the integrated financing district are in favor of commencing and carrying on those proceedings.

Section 1695
Status: in_force

(a) The Legislature finds and declares that homeowners whose residences are in foreclosure have been subjected to fraud, deception, and unfair dealing by home equity purchasers. The recent rapid escalation of home values, particularly in the urban areas, has resulted in a significant increase in home equities which are usually the greatest financial asset held by the homeowners of this state. During the time period between the commencement of foreclosure proceedings and the scheduled foreclosure sale date, homeowners in financial distress, especially the poor, elderly, and financially unsophisticated, are vulnerable to the importunities of equity purchasers who induce homeowners to sell their homes for a small fraction of their fair market values through the use of schemes which often involve oral and written misrepresentations, deceit, intimidation, and other unreasonable commercial practices.

(b) The Legislature declares that it is the express policy of the state to preserve and guard the precious asset of home equity, and the social as well as the economic value of homeownership.

(c) The Legislature further finds that equity purchasers have a significant impact upon the economy and well-being of this state and its local communities, and therefore the provisions of this chapter are necessary to promote the public welfare.

(d) The intent and purposes of this chapter are the following:

(1) To provide each homeowner with information necessary to make an informed and intelligent decision regarding the sale of his or her home to an equity purchaser; to require that the sales agreement be expressed in writing; to safeguard the public against deceit and financial hardship; to insure, foster, and encourage fair dealing in the sale and purchase of homes in foreclosure; to prohibit representations that tend to mislead; to prohibit or restrict unfair contract terms; to afford homeowners a reasonable and meaningful opportunity to rescind sales to equity purchasers; and to preserve and protect home equities for the homeowners of this state.

(2) This chapter shall be liberally construed to effectuate this intent and to achieve these purposes.
