The bill amends Section 25-3-1 of the General Laws in Chapter 25-3, which pertains to work on holidays and Sundays. It introduces new definitions, including "employee" to encompass individuals employed by a municipality or the state who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement or employment contract. Additionally, the definition of "employer" is revised to apply to those who employ fifteen (15) or more employees, replacing the previous definition that included any employer with one or more employees.

The bill also removes specific language regarding individuals employed in telephonic delivery of customer service and related operations, while adding new definitions for employees covered by collective bargaining agreements or employment contracts and those employed by municipalities or the state. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
