Authorizes the division of labor standards and the attorney general to investigate wage complaints and bring action on behalf of aggrieved employees, with modifications to employer penalties for wage-related claims

This bill authorizes the Missouri Division of Labor Standards and the Attorney General to investigate wage complaints and take legal action on behalf of employees who have been denied proper pay. It expands the state's ability to enforce wage laws by granting officials the power to subpoena records, examine witnesses, and file civil or criminal charges against employers accused of wage theft. The legislation also allows for the recovery of unpaid wages through class-action lawsuits and provides for liens on employer property to secure these claims. Additionally, the bill extends the time limit for filing civil actions regarding wage violations to three years from the date of the incident.
