What’s in it
AI summary Local governments are already stopped from making their own rules about pay, benefits, or hiring that go beyond state or federal laws. This new law says that if someone takes a legal case to stop a city or county from enforcing those forbidden rules, the winner of the case will get their attorney fees and court costs paid.1

This bill relates to the regulation by counties and cities of certain conditions of employment. Current law prohibits a county or city from adopting, enforcing, or otherwise administering an ordinance, motion, resolution, or amendment providing for any terms or conditions that exceed or conflict with the requirements of federal or state law relating to a minimum or living wage rate, any form of employment leave, hiring practices, employment benefits, scheduling practices, or other terms or conditions of employment. The bill provides that the court shall award attorney fees and costs to the prevailing party challenging the enforcement or administration of a prohibited ordinance, motion, resolution, or amendment. The bill applies to actions regarding the enforcement or administration of a prohibited ordinance, motion, resolution, or amendment that is pending on the effective date of the bill or is filed on or after the effective date of the bill.
