Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
local government
1. State and local employment regulations; repeal preemption of local government regulations
This bill repeals the preemption of local governments enacting or enforcing ordinances related to the following:
1. Regulations related to wage claims and collections.
2. Regulation of employee hours and overtime, including scheduling of employee work hours or shifts.
3. The employment benefits an employer may be required to provide to its employees.
4. An employer's right to solicit information regarding the salary history of prospective employees.
The bill also repeals a prohibition against a political subdivision from imposing an occupational licensing requirement on an individual that is more stringent than the state requirement. The bill also repeals a provision under which neither the state nor a local government may enact a statute or ordinance, adopt a policy or regulation, or impose a contract, zoning, permitting, or licensing requirement, or any other condition, that would require any person to accept any provision that is a subject of collective bargaining under state or federal labor laws. Current law defines “federal labor laws” as the National Labor Relations Act. Finally, the bill repeals a prohibition under which the state and local governments, and their employees, could require any person to waive the person's rights under state or federal labor laws as a condition of any other approval by the state or local governmental unit.
