AI Summary
This bill, titled the "Rest Period for Workers Act," requires employers to provide their employees with a 30-minute meal or rest period after working continuously for more than 5 hours. The bill defines key terms such as "employer" and "place of business," and allows the Secretary of Labor and Industry to grant exceptions to the 30-minute requirement in cases where it would impose an undue hardship on the employer or limit the job opportunities of the employee. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
