Bill Summary
A BILL To provide employees with a minimum of two consecutive hours of paid leave in order to vote in Federal elections.
AI Summary
This bill, the Time Off to Vote Act, requires employers to provide a minimum of two consecutive hours of paid leave for employees to vote in federal elections. Employers can determine the specific hours during which the leave can be taken, including allowing it to be used for early voting if applicable under state law. The bill prohibits employers from interfering with or retaliating against employees for exercising this right, and gives the Department of Labor investigative authority and the ability to impose civil penalties for violations. The bill does not supersede any state or local laws that provide greater or more beneficial leave for voting.
