Maddy summaryThis bill designates May 2026 as Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month to highlight the importance of mental health support for mothers.

Existing law requires an employer, semimonthly or at the time of payment of wages, to furnish an employee an accurate, itemized, written statement containing specified information regarding the amounts earned, hours worked, and the employee's identity, among other things, subject to certain variations. Existing law provides that an itemized wage statement furnished by an employer pursuant to these provisions is not required to show total hours worked by the employee if, among other things, the employee is exempt from the payment of minimum wage and overtime under specified law. Existing federal law, the Railway Labor Act, regulates labor relations for rail and air carriers and entitles employees to organize and bargain collectively. This bill would provide that an itemized wage statement may, in lieu of total hours worked, show all applicable hourly rates in effect during the pay period and the corresponding number of hours worked at each hourly rate if the employee is a flight deck crewmember or cabin crewmember covered by the federal Railway Labor Act and the employer makes available certain information regarding duty hours in accordance with federal regulations, as specified. The bill would also provide that an itemized wage statement may not be required to show the number of piece-rate units earned and any applicable piece rate for a covered employee under specified circumstances. The bill would prohibit a person, commencing June 11, 2026, from filing a new legal action by or on behalf of a crewmember asserting specified violations of the wage statement requirements.

It directs that the session automatically adjourns "sine die" (permanently) at midnight on the date both the Assembly and Senate pass the resolution. The bill does not create new policy or affect the public; it solely establishes a procedural deadline for the legislature's own session. The title "Relative to K-Ginseng Day" appears unrelated to the resolution's actual content and likely reflects a placeholder or error in the bill's naming. The resolution was adopted by the Senate on February 3, 2025, and filed with the Secretary of State on February 6, 2025.
