Preempts certain local ordinances with respect to employment law

SB 325 - Under current law, state minimum wage laws preempt and nullify all political subdivision ordinances, rules, and regulations relating to the establishment or enforcement of a minimum or living wage or the provision of employment benefits that exceed state laws, rules, or regulations. This act adds to the list of political subdivision policies, ordinances, or resolutions that may not be enacted to include the following: • Those that regulate the information an employer or potential employer shall request, require, or exclude on an application for employment from an employee or prospective employee; • Those requiring an employer to provide to an employee paid or unpaid leave time that conflicts with what is required by state law; • Those regulating the hours and scheduling that an employer is required to provide to employees or employee output during work hours; • Those regulating or creating administrative or judicial remedies for wage, hour, or benefit disputes, including, but not limited to, any benefits described in this act. Certain exceptions are created, as delineated in the act. This act is substantially similar to SB 1066 (2024), HB 2866 (2024), and SB 712 (2023).
