This bill amends the New Jersey State Wage and Hour Law to expand exemptions from minimum wage and overtime requirements for certain summer camp workers. Specifically, it allows for exemptions during the months of June, July, August, and September for employees of private summer camps who are 22 years of age or under and enrolled in high school, college, university, or vocational training programs. Additionally, the bill extends the exemption for overtime compensation to employees of resident summer camps, regardless of their age.

The bill defines "private summer camp" as a youth camp licensed under the New Jersey Youth Camp Safety Act and operated by entities other than nonprofit or religious organizations. It also defines "resident summer camp" as a private summer camp where children stay overnight regularly. These changes aim to provide greater flexibility for private summer camps in managing their workforce during peak operational months.
