The bill prohibits any person from discriminating or retaliating against any person who exercises the rights or protections provided by the new law or who files a complaint or participates in a proceeding under the law.

Persons who violate the law are subject to civil penalties of up to $2,500 per violation, enforceable by the Attorney General. That amount increases to $50,000 for certain egregious violations that result in a worker's bodily injury or death. The bill also provides a private right of action for aggrieved persons and declares void any attempt to waive or modify the workers' rights under the law. All persons who are considered employers of a worker are jointly and severally liable for violations of the law.
