This bill amends Pennsylvania's military affairs laws to require employers with more than 50 full-time employees to display a standardized workplace posting about veterans' benefits and services. The Department of Labor and Industry will create this posting and make it available online for employers to print, and employers can display it either physically in a conspicuous workplace area or on their internal website. The workplace posting must include contact information for the state veterans' department, details about federal and state veteran benefits, the Veterans Affairs Crisis Line contact information, and county veterans' affairs directors' contact details. The bill also makes some minor editorial changes to the title of Part V of Title 51, changing "Employment Preferences" to simply "Employment and Pensions". Employers will have 180 days to comply with the workplace posting requirement, and the rest of the bill will take effect 90 days after passage. The posting will be exempt from certain regulatory review processes, and the department must publish a notice about the posting in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
