Bill overview
This bill amends California’s Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act (WARN) to strengthen the notice requirements for employers conducting mass layoffs, relocations, or terminations. Specifically, it mandates that employers include information about their plans for coordinating services with local workforce development boards or other entities, and details regarding the CalFresh food assistance program in their notifications to affected employees and government agencies. The goal is to provide greater support and resources to workers impacted by these events.
