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, while excluding those under sixteen years of age and those working fewer than eighty hours in a calendar year. The bill also modifies the definition of "employer" to include those with at least eleven employees, up from one, and introduces a new classification for "small business" as an employer with at least eleven but fewer than twenty employees.

In terms of enforcement, the bill stipulates that the Commissioner of Labor will issue citations for violations, with penalties capped at five hundred dollars for first offenses and five thousand for subsequent violations. Employers have fifteen working days to contest these citations. Additionally, the bill removes provisions that allowed employees to sue for violations of the Act, instead focusing on administrative penalties and public disclosure of citations. The original sections of the Initiative Law 2024, No. 436, are repealed, streamlining the enforcement process and emphasizing administrative remedies over legal actions.
