Bill > HB1320

This bill aims to codify, modify, and clarify current laws and administrative requirements regarding access to personnel files. It requires employers to provide employees and former employees with a complete copy of their personnel file within 14 calendar days of a request, at no cost. The bill also allows employees to petition their employer to review and remove any irrelevant or erroneous information from their file, and provides former employees the right to a written statement of the reasons for their discharge. The bill creates a private right of action for employees or former employees to enforce these provisions and establishes statutory damages for violations. It also outlines specific requirements for redaction of certain information by healthcare providers, public employers, and postsecondary educational institutions.
