Since January of 2006, the New Jersey state legislature had been considering a bill to provide advance notification to workers of plant closings and mass layoffs. The Millville Dallas Airmotive Plant Job Loss Notification Act (A1044) passed the New Jersey State Assembly and was amended and then passed by the State Senate. The two bodies conferred and the Assembly subsequently passed the amended bill. On November 8, 2007, Governor Jon Corzine conditionally vetoed the Act and returned it to the legislature for further amendments to provide 60 days advance notice to workers, rather than the 90 day notice period provided in the bill as passed.
