AI Summary

  • Creates the Infectious Disease Worker Safety Commission within the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity, consisting of 9 appointed members including labor union representatives from healthcare, law enforcement, or food delivery; private and public sector management; epidemiology specialists; and occupational safety experts

  • Requires the commission to determine best practices for protecting employees during infectious disease emergencies, including appropriate personal protective equipment, handwashing station placement, distancing requirements, and other safety protocols

  • Mandates the commission produce a public report of its findings within 120 days of the act's effective date, to be posted on the department's website

  • Requires employers to post the commission's report in a conspicuous location at each workplace; failure to post removes the employer's ability to discipline employees who refuse to work during an infectious disease emergency

  • Commission members serve staggered 3-year terms after initial appointments, must meet at least quarterly, and receive no compensation but may be reimbursed for expenses
