Labor: other; registry of employers who relocate a call center to a foreign country; require the department of labor and economic opportunity to create. Creates new act.

This bill creates the Call Center Jobs Retention Act, which requires large employers in Michigan to notify the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity at least 30 days before moving a call center or a significant portion of its operations to a foreign country. The law specifically applies to companies employing 50 or more people at a call center and mandates reporting if they plan to close local operations while contracting for the same services abroad. Employers who fail to provide this advance notice face civil fines of up to $10,000, and the department must publish a public registry every six months listing the names of these employers, the number of jobs affected, and the new locations.
