Introduced Text

Establishes a maximum workday for peace officers and sets a double time and a half rate for overtime.

This bill establishes a maximum hourly workday for all peace officers, limiting them to eight hours unless they hold the title of correctional officer steward, in which case the limit is ten hours. It also sets a rate of double time and a half for any overtime work beyond these limits. The bill ensures that employees cannot be required to work overtime in unforeseeable emergent circumstances unless certain conditions are met. Violations of these provisions would result in the state paying the affected employees at the specified overtime rate.
