Governmental facilities include institutions, departments, agencies, bureaus, or offices operated by the state that employ more than 25 persons. State employers must also provide the employees, the affected organizations, and the affected local governments with a written impact statement within 90 days of making a decision to close or retrench (reducing the number of employees by at least 250 over a 2-year period). The notice must include:
• The number of employees affected;
• The amount of the affected employees' payroll;
• The potential tax losses to local governments and school districts;
• The effect on other businesses; and
• The reason for the closure or retrenchment.
