The new bill proposes amendments to title 23, chapter 2, article 1 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, focusing on employment practices and working conditions. The bill introduces several new provisions for employers, including the requirement to provide a 30-minute unpaid meal break for employees working more than five hours in a day, with an additional break for those working over twelve hours. Employers must also offer a paid ten-minute rest break for every four hours worked.

Furthermore, the bill mandates overtime pay at one and one-half times the regular rate for work exceeding eight hours up to twelve hours in a workday, and for the first eight hours on the seventh consecutive day of work in a workweek. It also requires double the regular rate for work beyond twelve hours in a workday and for any hours worked past eight on the seventh consecutive day of work in a workweek. Additionally, the bill clarifies that the federal fair labor standards act applies to employers with annual sales of $100,000 or those engaged in interstate commerce.
