Bill > SB6106

This bill amends the Laid-Off Employees Act to clarify that Indian tribes are not considered employers under the act, and it also protects the names and addresses of employees from public disclosure when provided to the employment security department as part of layoff notifications. The bill updates the definition of "employer" to exclude Indian tribes, as defined in federal law, and it amends the public records disclosure law to exempt employee names and addresses submitted by employers for layoff notices from public inspection. This aims to ensure timely notification and benefits for laid-off employees while safeguarding their personal information.
