- Stronger protections for domestic workers – including updated requirements for guaranteed rest breaks, meal periods, paid/unpaid leave, severance pay, and anti-retaliation rules
- New notice requirements for agencies to inform clients and workers of their rights
- Penalties up to $2,000 per violation and potential license revocation
