Prohibits local governments from requiring private employers to provide paid sick leave.

This bill prohibits New Jersey local governments (counties, cities, towns) from requiring private employers to provide paid sick leave. It makes any local ordinance or rule mandating paid sick leave "null and void," shifting authority to state-level policy. The bill aims to prevent inconsistent local rules across the state, which the legislature claims would burden employers operating in multiple jurisdictions. It directly affects private employers in New Jersey and local governments that previously could set their own sick leave requirements. The law takes effect immediately upon passage.
