Passed in October 2025, SB 294 requires all employers to provide existing employees with the opportunity to choose and designate an emergency contact by March 30, 2026, and at the time of hire for new employees hired after that date. Employers would be obligated to notify the employee’s designated emergency contact if the employee is arrested or detained on the worksite.
