Labor and industrial relations; preemption of wage and employment benefit mandates adopted by a local government entity; repeal certain provisions

Summary

The bill removes Georgia Code Section 34-4-3.1, which barred counties and cities from requiring employers to pay certain wages or provide benefits and from influencing those terms through contracts. With the repeal, local governments can again adopt wage and benefit mandates, use procurement to affect vendor wages, and set hours or scheduling requirements for employers. This change could lead to varied local labor standards across the state.
