Legislative Bill 32 amends the Nebraska Healthy Families and Workplaces Act by redefining key terms and altering enforcement provisions. Notably, the definition of "employee" is expanded to include individuals employed in agricultural jobs of a seasonal or temporary nature, and it specifies that employees under sixteen years of age are excluded from this definition. The bill also modifies the definition of "employer," changing the threshold from one to eleven employees, and introduces a new classification for "small business" as those with at least eleven but fewer than twenty employees.

In terms of enforcement, the bill outlines the process for issuing citations to employers suspected of violating the Act, including notification procedures and penalties for violations. It establishes a maximum penalty of $500 for first violations and $5,000 for subsequent violations, while also barring employers with unpaid citations from contracting with the state until the citation is resolved. The bill repeals previous sections related to employee lawsuits for violations, streamlining the enforcement process and focusing on administrative penalties rather than civil actions.
