Senate Bill 1212 - Protect Idaho Jobs Act

• Requires employers with 50+ full-time workers (1,500+ aggregate hours per week) to notify the Idaho Department of Labor at least 90 days before relocating 15% or more of operations or production to a foreign country.

• Imposes civil penalties up to $7,500 per day for employers failing to provide required notification, which the director may waive with legislative notice within 30 days.

• Directs the department to compile and maintain a publicly available list of employers who relocate operations, updated monthly and available within 72 hours of notification.

• Makes employers on the relocation list ineligible for state grants, guaranteed loans, tax benefits, and other financial support for 35 months, except for training grants for veterans, minorities, and women.

• Protects workers' eligibility for unemployment benefits, worker's compensation, disability benefits, and retraining assistance regardless of employer relocation status.
