AI Summary
This bill amends the existing law to require certain employers to provide notice prior to large job layoffs, in addition to plant closings or partial closings. The bill defines a "mass layoff" as a reduction in an employer's workforce of at least 25 workers and 25 percent of the workforce, or at least 200 workers, within a 30-day period. The bill also outlines the required notice period, liability for employers who fail to provide notice, and exceptions to the notice requirement. The overall goal is to provide workers and communities more advance notice of large-scale job losses.
