Bill Summary
This bill would prohibit a local government from requiring that private employers within its jurisdiction provide paid sick leave. Allowing these policies to be set at the local level would lead to patchwork regulation and place additional burdens on employers, stifling economic growth and job creation in the State. This bill would help make the State more economically competitive by providing greater consistency and predictability in employment rules across the State and limiting the burdens that localities may impose on employers, especially employers that operate in more than one municipality in the State.
AI Summary
This bill would prohibit local governments in New Jersey from requiring private employers to provide paid sick leave to their employees. The goal is to establish uniform statewide policies on paid sick leave, rather than a patchwork of regulations at the local level, which the state believes would hinder economic growth and job creation. The bill would override any existing local ordinances, resolutions, or rules that mandate private employers provide paid sick leave, though it would not affect any requirements related to public contracts.
