This bill aims to increase voter participation by requiring employers to provide up to two hours of paid time off for employees to vote in statewide or federal elections, if they do not have sufficient time outside of their regular work schedule to do so. Employers may require employees to take this time at the beginning or end of their shift, and employees must provide at least two days' notice to their employer. The bill also requires employers to clearly post a notice in the workplace informing employees of these provisions.
