Bill > A10728

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 a risk of physical injury, causing serious physical injury or death. The bill also allows courts to order increased restitution or reparation in cases where an employer or supervisor is convicted of the new "Endangering the Welfare of a Worker" offenses.
