SB465:

Employee protections; candidacy for or service in the General Assembly.

Bill Summary:

Employee protections; candidacy for or service
in the General Assembly. Prohibits an employer from discharging,
disciplining, threatening, discriminating against, or penalizing
an employee, or taking other retaliatory action regarding an employee's
compensation, terms, conditions, location, or privileges of employment,
because the employee is a candidate for the General Assembly or serves
as a member of the General Assembly. The bill provides that a person
who alleges a violation of this prohibition may bring a civil action
seeking injunctive relief, reinstatement, and compensation for lost
wages, benefits, and other remuneration.
