Senate Bill No. 1274 mandates the Labor Commissioner to conduct a study on working conditions within the state, with the requirement to report the findings to the relevant joint standing committee of the General Assembly by January 1, 2026. The report may also include recommendations for potential legislation aimed at improving working conditions. This new section is inserted into current law as Section 1, effective from the date of passage.
The bill does not impose any fiscal impact on the state or municipalities, as the Labor Commissioner can carry out the study without needing additional resources. There are no deletions from existing law noted in this bill, and it has received a favorable report from the Labor and Public Employees Committee.
