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, as opposed to the previous definition that included any employer with one or more employees.

The bill also removes specific exclusions for employees engaged in telephonic customer service and related operations, thereby broadening the scope of who is considered an employee under this law. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
