SB 69, PN 650
This bill would amend the Judicial Code to provide employers
with civil immunity for the disclosure of information about former or
current employees. Senator Vance offered amendment A0230, which
provides additional protection for employees by making explicit the
circumstances in which an employee may bring a civil lawsuit against an
employer. If the employer knowingly reveals false information,
information that was materially misleading, or information that is
prohibited from disclosure, the civil immunity can be revoked. The
burden of proof is on the employee to show that the employer was not
acting in good faith. The Senate agreed to the amendment.
