Governor's Bill No. 92 seeks to enhance protections for warehouse workers in the state, set to take effect on October 1, 2026. The bill introduces definitions for key terms such as "employee," "employer," "quota," "work speed data," and "warehouse distribution center." Starting July 1, 2027, employers will be required to provide written descriptions of quotas to employees, including potential consequences for not meeting these quotas, and must notify employees of any changes. The bill also ensures that quotas do not interfere with meal periods or bathroom breaks and prohibits adverse actions against employees for not meeting quotas that violate these provisions or for not receiving prior notification.

In addition to these protections, the bill mandates that employers maintain accurate records of work speed data and quota descriptions for three years, allowing employees and former employees to request this information within five calendar days. The legislation establishes a civil penalty structure for violations, with fines escalating for repeat offenses, and requires the Workers' Compensation Commission to monitor injury rates in warehouse distribution centers starting July 1, 2027. If an employer's injury rate exceeds a specified threshold, the Labor Commissioner may initiate an investigation. Notably, the bill introduces several new sections to current law without any deletions, focusing on improving safety standards and accountability in the warehouse distribution sector.
