BILL NUMBER:S3862 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the labor law and the civil service law, in relation to protection of employees and former employees against retaliatory action by employers PURPOSE: This bill provides greater protections for "whistleblower" employees who disclose information about illegal activities of their employers. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1: Amends Labor Law section 740 by clarifying the definition of "law, rule or regulation," to clearly include state, local and federal laws, rules or regulations and state, local and federal judicial and administrative decisions. It clarifies the definition of "public body" to include any department of the executive branch and any division, board or bureau of any public body. Expands the term "retaliatory personnel action" to include the penalization or discrimination against an employee or former employee who "blew the whistle". This section also specifies that an employee will be protected against retaliatory action for disclosure of employer activity that the employee in good faith reasonably believes has occurred or will occur and in good faith reasonably believes constitutes illegal business
