Bill > H3148

This bill amends the existing law to require certain notices prior to plant closings, partial closings, or mass layoffs. Specifically, the bill defines "mass layoff" as the reduction of an employer's workforce within a single municipality or employment site by at least 25 workers and 25% of the workforce, or at least 200 workers, within a 30-day period. The bill also outlines the requirements for employer notices, the certification process by the commissioner, and the penalties for employers who fail to provide the required notices. Additionally, the bill provides exceptions to the notice requirement in certain circumstances, such as when a plant closing or layoff is due to a physical calamity or act of war.
