Bill Summary
This bill would prohibit a local unit from adopting an ordinance, resolution, or rule or regulation, or taking any other action, setting forth the terms and conditions of employment offered by any private employer, including, but not limited to, imposing sick leave or minimum wage requirements. Under the bill, any ordinance, resolution, rule, or regulation, or other action taken setting forth the terms and conditions of employment offered by private employers would be against public policy and would be null and void. The bill defines "local unit" as a political subdivision of the State that is a municipality or county, or any agency or instrumentality of a municipality or county, but not a school district or regional school district. The bill would also remove all provisions of section 5 of P.L.1966, c.113 (C.34:11-56a4) regarding what actions a political subdivision may or may not take with respect to terms and conditions of employees of private sector employers who are vendors, contractors, and subcontractors of a political subdivision.
