Bill > H4053

This bill amends Massachusetts law to clarify who is considered a "domestic worker" by excluding individuals participating in au pair programs that are regulated by the United States Department of State's Exchange Visitor Program, specifically referencing 22 C.F.R. 62.31. This exclusion is added to the definition of "occupation" in one section of law and to the definition of "domestic worker" in another, ensuring that au pairs, who provide childcare and household services in a host family's home as part of a cultural exchange program, are not subject to the same regulations as other domestic workers.
