Mini-WARN Act Amended
On March 17, 2026, Governor Bob Ferguson signed SB 6106, which amends the state’s analogue to the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act.
- The legislation amends the definition of “employers” that are required to comply with the state’s mini-WARN law to exclude Native American tribes.
- The bill also changes the notices that must contain the names and addresses of employees affected by layoffs.
- The amended mini-WARN Act also stops disclosure under the Public Records Act of the names and addresses of affected employees.
