The bill proposes significant changes to the Labor Pool Act by repealing several sections (448.20 through 448.26) that cover various aspects such as short title, legislative intent, definitions, exclusions, duties and rights, remedies, damages, costs, and application. Additionally, it amends sections 443.101 and 448.111 to align with these changes. Specifically, the amendments to section 443.101 redefine terms related to temporary help firms and leased employees, removing references to "labor pool" and "day laborer" as defined in the repealed sections. This indicates a shift in how temporary employment is classified and the conditions under which benefits may be disqualified.

Furthermore, the bill modifies section 448.111 to establish evidentiary standards for businesses during public health emergencies, ensuring that certain actions taken by businesses cannot be used as evidence in civil actions related to employee classification and compensation. Notably, it removes a specific section (448.25) from the list of laws that could be referenced in such civil actions. The effective date for these changes is set for July 1, 2025.
