Bill overview
The Fair Warning Act of 2019 aims to provide more advance notice to workers before employers announce site closures or mass layoffs. It requires employers with 50 or more employees to notify affected employees, the Department of Labor, the state governor, and a designated state entity at least 90 days in advance. The bill also establishes rules around exemptions for natural disasters and relocation, and mandates the provision of information about available benefits and services to impacted employees. It includes amendments to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act to clarify definitions and streamline the notification process.
