 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. HOOKS -- read once and referred to the Committee
 on Labor

 AN ACT to amend the labor law, in relation to requiring employers and
 third-party websites, job boards and recruitment platforms to remove
 inactive job postings within a certain timeframe

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. The labor law is amended by adding a new section 211-b to
 2 read as follows:
 3 § 211-b. Removal of inactive job postings. 1. For purposes of this
 4 section, a job posting shall be deemed inactive when:
 5 (a) the employer has filled the position;
 6 (b) the employer no longer intends to hire for the position;
 7 (c) the position has been eliminated or frozen, or funding for such
 8 position has been withdrawn; or
 9 (d) the posting was published in error.
 10 2. An employer who publicly advertises a job posting shall remove such
 11 posting within fourteen days after the posting no longer represents an
 12 active, bona fide vacancy.
 13 3. Where an employer utilizes a third-party website, job board, or
 14 recruitment platform to advertise a job posting, the employer shall
 15 notify such third-party within seven days after a job posting becomes
 16 inactive and such third-party shall remove the posting within seven days
 17 of receiving such notice.
 18 4. Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit an employer
 19 from maintaining postings:
 20 (a) for positions with multiple vacancies;
 21 (b) for positions with rolling or continuous recruitment, provided the
 22 employer clearly discloses such status in the posting; or
 23 (c) required by law or collective bargaining agreements.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 2 Upon a finding that a violation of this section has occurred, the

 4 (a) an order directing removal of the inactive posting;
 5 (b) a cease-and-desist order; and
 6 (c) an administrative fine of not less than one thousand dollars for
 7 each violation.
