Bill > S03811

This bill requires the New York State Department of Labor to publish and annually update a list on its website of employers with 50 or more employees who receive certain types of public assistance. Specifically, the bill defines "public assistance" broadly to include medical assistance, child health insurance, federal temporary assistance for needy families, certain earned income tax credits, and supplemental nutrition assistance program (SNAP) benefits. To be included on the list, employees must work at least 26 weeks per year and 10 hours per week. The purpose appears to be increasing transparency about employers whose workforce relies on public assistance programs, potentially highlighting workplace wage and benefit issues. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage, mandating the Department of Labor to create and maintain this public-facing list of employers.
