AI Summary
This bill amends the Pennsylvania Election Code to provide employee voter leave. It defines "employee" as an individual employed by a public or private entity and allows employees to take up to two hours of paid time off to vote, with limitations on when the time can be taken. The bill requires employers to post a notice about the employee voter leave provisions and prohibits employers from asking employees about their party affiliation, registration, or how they voted. Employers who violate the law can be subject to fines of $100 to $500 per violation.
