HB 1286 -- Employee Information

Sponsor:  Smith (118)

This bill specifies that an employer who discloses job-related
information about a former or current employee to a prospective
employer or law enforcement agency either by letter or telephone
be presumed to be acting in good faith and immune from civil
liability for the disclosure or its consequences.  The
presumption of good faith will be rebuttable and immunity lost if
there is clear and convincing evidence that the information
disclosed was knowingly, recklessly, deliberately, or maliciously
false or was disclosed in violation of a non-disclosure agreement
or applicable law.
