AI Summary

This bill aims to ensure that municipal employees in Massachusetts receive minimum wage and paid family and medical leave benefits. Specifically, it amends existing laws to clarify that the state's minimum wage and paid family and medical leave (PFML) provisions apply to both public and private employers, including municipalities and their instrumentalities. The bill also removes an exemption that previously allowed certain employers not subject to the PFML law to opt out of providing these benefits.
