Bill > HB179

This bill, known as the Employee Free Speech Act, prohibits employers from taking adverse employment actions against employees who refuse to attend employer-sponsored meetings or listen to communications that primarily convey the employer's opinions on religious or political matters. The bill includes exceptions, such as allowing employers to communicate information required by law or necessary for an employee to perform their job duties, or allowing religious organizations to require employees to attend meetings or communications about the employer's religious beliefs and practices. The bill also allows institutions of higher education to communicate coursework, symposia, or academic programs to their employees. The bill takes effect immediately.
