Relative to providing employees with advance notice of the work...

This bill, HB487, proposes to ensure that employees receive advance notice of their work schedules. This would help workers plan their personal and professional lives more effectively. The bill was introduced by Erica deVries and has gone through several steps in the legislative process. It was first introduced on January 14, 2025, and was referred to the Labor, Industrial and Rehabilitative Services committee.

The committee reviewed the bill and released two reports. One report suggested the bill was inexpedient to legislate, while the other recommended it pass with amendments. However, on March 26, 2025, the House adopted a motion that it was inexpedient to legislate, leading to the bill being tabled. This means that the bill is currently not moving forward in the legislative process.

Key actions include the initial introduction and referral of the bill, the committee’s review and reports, and the final decision in the House to not proceed with the bill. The most recent action was the House adopting a motion to table the bill, effectively ending its progress for now.
