Summary
The bill makes it illegal for Kentucky employers to post job openings they don’t intend to fill and requires every posting to say if the job is open now or will open within 60 days. Employers who break the rule face civil penalties that rise for larger firms and repeat offenses. The goal is to stop deceptive hiring practices and protect job seekers.
