It varies by state ... in CA, the employee receives the accrued vacation pay regardless of the reason for termination.

I was fascinated to read the article saying it is a misunderstood bill and it was written in favor of the employee, total bull to me. This was probably written by the businesses who funded this man's campaign.

I have a couple more thoughts on this whole issues. I think I am able to see the other side. A benefit of working at a job can be earning paid time off and once you have terminated your relationship with an employer what do they owe you, not saying it is right but you are leaving?

Per an article about this online (Quitting a job? You could lose vacation time - Wyoming Tribune Eagle Online)

"The bill would apply only if the employee and employer have an agreed-upon policy that accrued vacation days are not considered “unpaid wages” that employees can collect when they leave a job," and, "if an employer has a policy that employees will not be compensated for unused vacation days when they leave, they must have their employees acknowledge that policy in writing."

Anywhere I have worked, that has only been the case (not payout of accrued vacation / PTO) if the employee does not give notice of XX weeks.

It often depends on the level of job. Two weeks is pretty standard - longer peiods (3 weeks or maybe a bit longer) usually only apply to higher-level positions. If the new company has a similar policy, they will likely not have an issue with a new employee being in the same position.
