SB 617: California Worker Adjustment and Retraining Act.

The bill aims to amend the labor code to provide more detailed notice requirements for mass layoffs, relocations, and terminations. Employers must now include information on their plans for coordinating services with the local workforce development board or another entity, as well as details about the statewide food assistance program, Calfresh. This notice must be given to employees, the Employment Development Department, and other local agencies before the mass layoff, relocation, or termination can take place.
