Summary

The bill changes state law so employers cannot refuse to hire, fire, or license anyone between 40 and 70 years old solely because of age, unless the job truly requires it. It also clarifies that legitimate retirement or benefit plans may still apply, and permits certain high‑level employees aged 65‑70 to be required to retire if they receive a sizable pension. The measure takes effect once signed or automatically if not vetoed.
