Bill Summary
Relative to allowing stores and shops to open on holidays. Community Development and Small Businesses.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to allow certain retail stores or shops that sell foods and goods labeled in English and another language, which make up more than 50% of their total items, to open on Christmas Day and Thanksgiving Day. The stores must receive approval from the municipal licensing board, comply with labor regulations, and cannot require employees to work on those holidays - refusal to work would not be grounds for discrimination or penalty. The bill also adds an exception to the general law that prohibits stores from opening on those holidays.
