An Act relative to the application of the Domestic Workers Bill of Rights as it pertains to Au Pairs.
Whereas, The deferred operation of this act would tend to defeat its purpose, which is to delay forthwith the application of certain domestic worker laws as they apply to au pairs, therefore it is hereby declared to be an emergency law, necessary for the immediate preservation of the public convenience.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Court assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:
SECTION 1. Subsection (a) of section 190 of chapter 149 of the General Laws is hereby amended by inserting before the definition of “Domestic worker” the following definition:-
“Au pair”, a foreign national who has been granted a J-1 visa solely for participation in the federal Department of State-designated exchange visitor program governed by 22 CFR section 62.31.
SECTION 2. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, subsections (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (j), (k), (l) and (m) of said section 190 shall not apply to an au pair on or before June 30, 2020.
SECTION 3. Subsections (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g), (j), (k), (l) and (m) of said section 190 shall be in effect with relation to an au pair beginning on July 1, 2020.
