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. Additionally, it enhances the protection of employee names and addresses by exempting this information from public disclosure when provided to the employment security department by employers for layoff notifications, thereby safeguarding employees' privacy. The bill also makes a technical correction to clarify that notice must be provided to both the department and affected employees or their representatives, and it includes an emergency clause, allowing it to take effect immediately.
