Bill > S04373

This bill, known as "Carlos' law," relates to crimes involving the death or injury of a worker. It establishes higher fines for corporations that commit such crimes and creates new offenses called "Endangering the Welfare of a Worker" in the third, second, and first degrees. These new offenses apply to employers or supervisors who, through criminal negligence, expose workers to physical injury, causing serious physical injury or the worker's death. The bill also allows courts to order restitution or reparation beyond the standard amounts when an employer or supervisor is convicted of certain worker endangerment offenses.
