Bill > H2071

This bill makes several technical amendments to Chapter 136 of the Massachusetts General Laws, primarily focused on changing wage multipliers for certain work situations. Specifically, the bill modifies two sections of law to change wage calculations from "one and two-tenths" and "one and one-tenth" to "one and one-half", which effectively increases the overtime or premium pay rate. The bill also repeals multiple sections of Chapter 121 of the Acts of 2018, which appears to be related to previous wage and labor regulations. Additionally, the bill makes conforming amendments by removing references to specific sections in the 2018 act. While the precise context is not fully clear from the text, these changes suggest an intent to standardize and potentially increase wage rates for certain types of work, likely in sectors such as labor and workforce development.
