Bill Summary
For legislation to allow individuals to institute and prosecute a civil action for injunctive relief for violation of laws relative to meal breaks for employees. The Judiciary.
AI Summary
This bill aims to clarify and strengthen the meal break law in Massachusetts. It would allow individuals to file civil lawsuits to seek injunctive relief (a court order to stop a violation) for violations of the meal break law, which requires employers to provide employees with certain breaks. The bill proposes to insert a reference to the civil enforcement provision (Section 100) after an existing section (Section 33E) in the state's labor laws. This change would give employees an additional way to enforce their right to meal breaks beyond the existing enforcement mechanisms.
