Bill Summary
Relative to allowing stores and shops to open on holidays. Community Development and Small Businesses.
AI Summary
This bill allows certain retail stores and shops that sell foods and goods labeled in English and another language, making up more than 50% of their total inventory, to be open on Christmas Day and Thanksgiving Day. To do so, the store or shop must receive approval from the municipal licensing board, not violate any collective bargaining agreements, and comply with relevant labor laws. The bill also specifies that employees cannot be required to work on those holidays, and refusal to do so cannot result in any penalties or discrimination.
