Enacts the Empowering People in Rights Enforcement (EMPIRE) Worker Protection Act

Summary

The EMPIRE Worker Protection Act adds a new article to the state labor law that lets private individuals, labor unions and state‑deputized groups bring enforcement actions on behalf of employees. It defines who can sue, what violations are covered, and how civil penalties can be recovered. The goal is to boost enforcement of existing labor protections without requiring additional state funding.
