AN ACT RELATING TO EMPLOYMENT; AMENDING A SECTION OF CHAPTER 50, ARTICLE 4 NMSA 1978 AND A SECTION OF THE MINIMUM WAGE ACT TO REMOVE THE EXCEPTION OF DOMESTIC SERVICE FROM WAGE PROTECTIONS.

AI Summary

This bill amends Sections 50-4-1 and 50-4-21 of the New Mexico Statutes to remove the exception of domestic service from wage protections under the Minimum Wage Act. Previously, domestic service workers were not covered by the state's minimum wage laws, but this bill extends wage and hour protections to those workers, ensuring they receive at least the minimum wage for their labor.
