Bill Summary

This bill modifies the "Domestic Workers' Bill of Rights Act," P.L.2023, c.262. The bill changes the definition of domestic worker to exclude: (1) any full-time student in primary school, secondary school, high school, vocational school, college, or other post-secondary educational institution from the law's provisions; and (2) an au pair. Under the bill, au pair is defined as a young adult from overseas who lives with a family on a legal visa and through a federally regulated program for up to two years and provides childcare in exchange for a weekly stipend, room and board. Current law provides that individuals and employers with an overlapping employment relationship with a domestic worker are subject to joint and several liability, and concurrent fines and penalties, for violations of the "Domestic Workers' Bill of Rights Act." The bill removes the joint and several liability provision from current law.

AI Summary
