Removes requirement for state call center contractor to hire former contractor's employees unless specified in contract; limits law's scope to state.

This bill amends the labor law to remove the requirement that a state call center contractor must hire employees of a former call center contractor whose contract is terminated, unless explicitly stated in the contract. It also modifies the provisions of the new law to apply only to the state and its public authorities or public benefit corporations. The bill ensures that the successor call center contractor may retain employees of the former contractor for a transition period and may fill positions based on seniority.
