Bill > HB307

This bill, titled the Healthy Workplace Act, provides legal protections for employees against abusive work environments. It defines "abusive conduct" as acts or omissions that inflict physical or psychological injury, including repeated verbal abuse, threatening or humiliating behavior, and sabotage of an employee's work performance. The bill prohibits employers and employees from subjecting employees to abusive work environments and retaliating against those who oppose or report such practices. The bill outlines employer and employee liability, affirmative defenses, and available remedies, including reinstatement, back pay, damages, and attorney's fees. The bill takes effect 60 days after enactment and does not interfere with or supersede more protective provisions in collective bargaining or arbitration agreements.
