LAB § 1411

(a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), and notwithstanding any other law, a call center employer that appears on the list described in subdivision (b) of Section 1410, or who should have appeared on the list but did not provide notice as specified, shall be ineligible to be awarded or have renewed any direct or indirect state grants or state-guaranteed loans to that call center employer for five years after the date that the list is published, and that call center employer shall be ineligible to claim a tax credit for five taxable years beginning on and after the date that the list is published.

(b) The appropriate agency, after receiving a written request from a call center employer detailing the reasons for waiving the call center employer’s ineligibility under subdivision (a), and after consulting the list described in subdivision (b) of Section 1410, may waive the ineligibility provisions prescribed in subdivision (a) if the agency determines that the applicant call center employer demonstrates good cause to do so, which may include job loss or adverse impact on the state.

(c) As used in this section, “appropriate agency” means the agency that administers the relevant direct or indirect state grants, state-guaranteed loans, or tax credits referenced in subdivision (a).
