Employment-at-will doctrine; abolish and create "Good Faith in Employment Act."

Summary

The Good Faith in Employment Act would end the default at‑will employment rule and make it illegal to fire an employee after the first 90 days unless the employer can show a legitimate business reason. It applies to private employers with 20 or more employees and to state or local governments, giving workers a right to sue for wrongful discharge and limiting damages based on employer size. The bill failed to pass and died in committee.
