WHAT EMPLOYERS SHOULD WATCH

  • October 6 interim draft remains proposed; October 26 hearing at 10 a.m. and written-comment cutoff at 11:59 p.m. MT under the hearing notice. Comments extend through the final hearing day if continued; the webpage’s extended cutoff conflicts with the notice and needs confirmation.
  • Final implementation of post-adverse-outcome disclosures and meaningful human-review provisions
