Bill > S1044

This bill amends Chapter 149 of the General Laws in Massachusetts to provide employers with absolute immunity from civil liability when disclosing certain information about current or former employees to a prospective employer. The key provisions are: (1) employers can disclose an employee's date of employment, pay level, job description, and wage history without liability; and (2) employers responding in writing to a written request from a prospective employer can disclose the employee's prior written evaluations and whether the employee was voluntarily or involuntarily released, along with the reasons for separation, without liability. This change applies to causes of action accruing on or after the effective date of the act.
