Bill > SB6106

This bill amends the Laid-Off Employees Act to exclude Indian tribes from the definition of "employer," meaning they will not be subject to the act's requirements regarding notification and benefits for laid-off employees. It also updates the notice requirements for employers, specifying that when providing notice of a business closing or mass layoff to the employment security department and union representatives, employers must include the names and addresses of affected employees, while personal employee information submitted to the employment security department will be exempt from public disclosure. The bill also makes technical amendments to existing laws and declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately.
