A bill to create the call center jobs retention act; to provide for the powers and duties of certain state governmental officers and entities; to impose certain duties on certain employers; and to prescribe civil sanctions.
This legislation mandates that employers with 50 or more employees at a call center notify the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity at least 30 days prior to relocating a call center or a significant portion of its operations (at least 30% of total call volume) out of the state to a foreign country. Employers failing to comply with this requirement may face a civil fine of up to $10,000. Additionally, the Department is tasked with maintaining and publishing a registry of such employers, including details of the relocation, every six months after the act becomes effective.
