S 346 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to requiring new employees to be provided certain information relating to student loan repayment information

This bill requires employers in the state to give new employees information about student loan repayment options when they are hired. The law applies to people starting post-graduate internships or entry-level jobs that need an associate's degree or higher, and it also covers public service loan forgiveness programs for public sector workers. To ensure the information is accurate, the state's higher education and financial services officials must create a notice or pamphlet explaining consolidation options, income-based repayment plans, and helpful online resources. Employers must provide this material to eligible new hires on or before their start date, and the rules will take effect roughly 260 days after the bill becomes law.
