Sen. Nick Collins files bill to 'clarify' mandatory overtime protections
Summary
Sen. Nick Collins of the First Suffolk district filed Senate No. 1289 on Jan. 17, 2025, proposing to "clarify mandatory overtime protections" by deleting section (h) of subsection 226 in SECTION 103 of Chapter 224 of the Acts of 2012.
Sen. Nick Collins of the First Suffolk district filed Senate No. 1289 on Jan. 17, 2025, a bill titled "An Act clarifying mandatory overtime protections." The one‑page filing says the measure would amend Chapter 224 of the Acts of 2012 by deleting section (h) from subsection 226 in SECTION 103.
The filing notes similar matter in the 2023–2024 session (Senate No. 1147) and lists the committee reference as Labor and Workforce Development. The document itself does not include the text of the subsection identified for deletion, any committee report, or explanatory materials.
Because the filing is a bill referral rather than a committee report or enacted law, there was no vote recorded in the document. The filing is docketed as Senate Docket No. 1966 and carries the bill number Senate No. 1289.
Next steps under the Legislature's process are referral to the Joint Committee on Labor and Workforce Development for study, public hearing and possible amendment; the filing does not specify any timeline or effective date and contains no explanatory notes about the practical effect of removing section (h).
The filing identifies the sponsor and petitioner as Nick Collins of the First Suffolk district and provides no additional sponsors, fiscal notes, or detailed statutory language. The content of the subsection proposed for deletion and the reason for its removal are not specified in the filing.
