Bill > HB146

This bill enhances protections for public employees' personal information by establishing new restrictions on what information public employers can disclose. Specifically, the bill prohibits employers from revealing sensitive personal details including home addresses, dates of birth, personal phone numbers, personal email addresses, labor organization membership status, and communications between labor representatives and employees. The legislation amends existing labor laws to make disclosure of such information an unfair labor practice, and also modifies the state's Public Records Act to exempt these types of personal information from public disclosure. If an employer receives a request for protected employee information, they must notify the employee's labor representative promptly and provide a copy of the request. The bill includes exceptions for disclosures required by law, authorized by the employee, or made to the employee's representative. The provisions will apply to new collective bargaining agreements and employer actions moving forward, ensuring ongoing protection of public employees' personal data and privacy rights.
