Concerning consumer protection to prevent exploitation of Washington businesses through abusive litigation practices.

HB 2728 requires Washington employers with 15+ employees to disclose wage ranges and benefits in all job postings, aiming to prevent frivolous lawsuits over minor posting errors. It creates a 5-business-day "notice and cure" period where employers can fix violations before job applicants can file lawsuits, and sets statutory damages at $100-$5,000 per violation (considering factors like willfulness and employer size). The bill applies to all pending cases without final judgments as of its effective date, using the 2025 statutory framework for remedies. It sunsetts on July 27, 2027, and targets abusive litigation over technical compliance issues rather than consumer protection.
