Relates to prohibiting certain conditions or preconditions of employment
This bill prohibits employers from making it a requirement for hiring or keeping a job that an employee gives up their legal rights to file claims or receive benefits under state or federal laws. It specifically bans conditions where workers must waive, agree to arbitrate, or reduce any existing or future entitlements they would normally have. The law applies to all employers and employees but includes an exception for agreements reached through collective bargaining with labor unions. The changes will not take effect immediately but will begin ninety days after the bill officially becomes law.
