Here's another outlet that goes into more detail about the legislation at hand

Becerra said the state Department of Justice and the state Labor Commissioners Office plan to issue formal guidance to all California employers, public and private, notifying them of their responsibilities under a new state law called the Immigrant Worker Protection Act, signed by Gov. Jerry Brown last year that took effect Jan. 1. It seeks to prevent all workers, regardless of immigration status, from being detained at workplaces.

Authored by San Francisco Democratic Assemblyman David Chiu, the bill:

Requires employers to ask immigration agents for a warrant before granting access to a worksite.

Prevents employers from voluntarily sharing confidential employee information without a subpoena.

Requires employers to notify their workers before a federal audit of employee records.

Gives the attorney general and labor commissioner exclusive authority to enforce new provisions of state labor laws.

Prohibits employers from re-verifying information on employment verification forms, unless compelled to by federal law.
