The bill amends the Division of Workforce Services Law to establish a new section, 11-10-113, which provides individuals access to their employment records. Under this new provision, individuals can request their wage and employment records from the Division of Workforce Services at no charge. Additionally, the division is required to facilitate the electronic transmission of these records, either directly or through a qualified third-party vendor, in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. If a third-party vendor is utilized, the division must ensure that the vendor adheres to the United States Department of Labor rules and that any revenue generated from the vendor supports eligible workforce programs.
Furthermore, the bill mandates that the Division of Workforce Services implement these changes by December 31, 2025, ensuring that individuals can access their employment records electronically by this deadline. The division is also granted the authority to promulgate rules necessary for the implementation of this section.
