Senate Bill No. 1275, titled "An Act Concerning Workers' Rights," mandates the Labor Commissioner to conduct a study on the rights of employees within the state. The bill requires that the findings of this study, along with any legislative recommendations, be reported to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly by January 1, 2026. This new section is inserted into current law as Section 1, effective from the date of passage.
The bill does not impose any fiscal impact on the state or municipalities, as the Labor Commissioner can carry out the study without requiring additional resources. The legislative action was reported favorably by the Labor and Public Employees Committee, with a vote of 9 in favor and 4 against.
