Maine LD2089 amends agricultural labor housing standards to allow non-identical state rules.
Maine LD2089 changes the law to allow the Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Standards to adopt rules for agricultural labor housing standards that do not have to be identical to federal regulations. Previously, these rules had to match federal housing habitability regulations for seasonal and migrant workers. The bill removes the requirement for identical rules, allowing for state-specific regulations. This change affects housing provided by employers to agricultural laborers and their families.
