Change enforcement provisions of the Nebraska Healthy Families and Workplaces Act

Summary

The bill lets the Labor Commissioner issue citations to employers who may have broken the Healthy Families and Workplaces Act, with fines up to $500 for a first violation and $5,000 for later ones. Employers have 15 working days to contest the citation, and any unpaid citation blocks them from state contracts while the citation and employer name become public unless contested. Employees can also sue for relief, recover costs and attorney fees, and citations can be admitted as evidence in those lawsuits.
