Bill > SB5529

This bill aims to remove the exclusion of certain domestic workers from certain worker protections. Specifically, it amends the definitions in the Washington Law Against Discrimination to include domestic service workers within the definition of "employee," with some exceptions for casual labor and certain caregiving roles. It also removes the exclusion of domestic servants and certain home maintenance workers from mandatory workers' compensation coverage. The bill seeks to extend key worker protections to a broader range of domestic workers in the state.
