I put the odds of a veto at about 80%.

This bill would require employers to maintain employment records for a specified time and to provide inspection and copies within a specified time to current and former employees or their representatives. The bill would authorize those employees to recover a $750 penalty from an employer for failure to do so and to bring an action to obtain compliance, and it would provide that a violation of its provisions constitutes an infraction.
