Contractor disclosure requirements.

Existing law governs certain obligations arising from particular transactions, including credit card disclosures, consumer contracts, and consumer warranties. This bill would prohibit a contractor, as defined, that provides services that require entering the residence or place of lodging of a member of the public from utilizing a uniform that bears the name or logo of the contracting entity, as defined, unless each uniform meets certain disclosure requirements. Among these requirements, the bill would require each of the uniforms to clearly, conspicuously, and legibly state the contractor's name and logo, as specified. In addition to these requirements, the bill would further prohibit a contractor that provides the services described above relating to public health or safety services from using a vehicle that bears the name or logo of the contracting entity unless each vehicle also clearly, conspicuously, and legibly states the contractor's name and logo. The bill would specify that these provisions shall not apply if a contracting entity and a contractor are jointly and severally liable for any claims arising out of work performed pursuant to a contractual agreement. The bill would state the intent of the Legislature to increase consumer awareness of the state's growing and sizeable contract workforce through the disclosures required by these provisions. The bill would make a specified statement of legislative intent regarding the disclosures required by these provisions.
