Bill > HB3016

This bill amends the Paid Leave for All Workers Act by modifying the definition of "employee" to specifically exclude high school students under 18 years old who are employed on a temporary basis or less than full time. The bill adds a new exclusion to the existing list of employee exceptions in the law, which already includes certain workers like railroad employees and college students working for their educational institution. By creating this specific carve-out for high school students, the bill aims to provide flexibility for young workers who are primarily focused on their education and working in part-time or temporary roles. The modification ensures that these students are not considered employees under the Paid Leave for All Workers Act, which likely means they would not be entitled to the paid leave benefits outlined in the original legislation.
