Mandates state labor department to create and distribute an immigrant workers' bill of rights with information on rights regardless of immigration status, union organizing, TPS eligibility, and legal services resources, plus employer posting and outreach requirements.
the commissioner, in coordination with the department's division of immigrant policies and affairs, the division on human rights, and community and labor organizations deemed appropriate by the commissioner, shall provide on the department's website in English and such other languages as deemed appropriate by the commissioner information about rights under relevant federal and state law that apply to employees, prospective employees or independent contractors in the state. Such information shall indicate which rights apply to workers regardless of immigration status
Why the model tagged it this way: The bill requires the state labor department to inform workers of their rights regardless of immigration status, provide resources on immigration legal services and TPS, and include information on what to expect during workplace immigration enforcement visits. This informs and protects immigrant workers without changing state/local cooperation with federal enforcement, creating a sanctuary-like informational barrier (restricts enforcement) while the core provisions are informational and outreach-focused (neutral). No provisions address firearms, transgender issues, or abortion.
