This bill aims to protect employees from retaliation by employers when they raise concerns or criticize the employer's management of communicable diseases in the workplace. It defines key terms such as "communicable disease," "employee," "employer," and "retaliate," and outlines specific actions that constitute retaliation, including sanctions, pay reductions, and termination of employment. The bill prohibits employers from retaliating against employees who voice concerns to various parties, including other employees, state agencies, and the public, particularly through social media.

Additionally, the bill allows employees who believe they have been wronged to file a civil action for injunctive relief or damages within 90 days of the alleged violation. It specifies that employers cannot discriminate against employees for opposing violations of the act or participating in related legal actions. The bill also clarifies that it does not override existing collective bargaining agreements until they expire or are amended and ensures that confidentiality rights are maintained.
