Bill > HB342

This bill prohibits employers from posting "ghost jobs," which are defined as job advertisements that are not intended to be filled within a reasonable timeframe or are posted without any intention of hiring. The bill requires that all job postings include a statement indicating whether the position is for an immediate vacancy or a future vacancy that will occur within sixty days of the posting date. Furthermore, it amends existing law to establish civil penalties for violations, with penalties varying based on the size of the employer and the number of offenses, ranging from a $100 fine for smaller employers or first offenses by larger employers, to escalating fines for repeat offenses by larger employers.
