The director shall promulgate rules providing meaningful overtime and maximum hours protections to agricultural employees to be proposed no later than October 31, 2021, and adopted no later than January 31, 2022. In promulgating such rules, the director shall consider the inequity and racist origins of the exclusion of agricultural employees from overtime and maximum hours protections available to other employees, the fundamental right of all employees to overtime and maximum hours standards that protect the health and welfare of employees, and the unique difficulties agricultural employees have obtaining workplace conditions equal to those provided to other employees.Added by 2021 Ch. 337,§ 4, eff. 6/25/2021.
