Employers with over 100 workers must give affected employees right of first bid on other company positions and cannot discharge them during the 90-day notice period

Employers who fail to provide required notice must pay affected workers back pay and benefits for up to 60 days (or half their employment tenure, whichever is shorter), plus a $500 daily civil penalty

Employers must also notify the Employment Development Department when reducing or ceasing hiring due to AI adoption, including details about the AI systems used and job functions being automated

EDD must compile quarterly reports summarizing statewide worker displacement due to AI and automation, submitted to legislative labor and budget committees
