AI Summary
This bill prohibits employers from requiring employees or prospective employees to enter into training repayment agreements as a condition of employment. It defines a "training repayment agreement" as an agreement that requires an employee to pay the employer, a training provider, or a third party a sum of money if the employee voluntarily or involuntarily leaves employment. The bill also grants the Department of Labor and Industry the authority to enforce this act and impose civil penalties of up to $25,000 per violation, with additional penalties for subsequent violations. The bill applies to any training repayment agreement entered into on or after the effective date, which is 60 days after enactment.
