Provides that 32 hours shall constitute a legal week's work
This bill establishes a 32-hour standard workweek for most employees, replacing the typical 40-hour week. It directly affects most private-sector workers, excluding farm workers and employees covered under specific provisions of labor law (section 220). Key provisions allow for overtime agreements with higher pay, but prohibit such arrangements for state/municipal employees, contractors, or subcontractors. The law takes effect immediately upon passage.
