S 3604 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Exempts certain workers and organizations from Domestic Workers' Bill of Rights.

S 3604 exempts specific workers and organizations from New Jersey's Domestic Workers' Bill of Rights. The bill adds exemptions for family members, house sitters, pet sitters, dog walkers, home-based business workers (like day-care providers), home repair contractors, state employees, kinship guardians, licensed health aides, and home care agencies when using licensed workers. This means these excluded groups are no longer covered by the bill's labor standards, such as minimum wage, overtime, and anti-discrimination protections. The bill does not affect protections for other domestic workers who remain subject to the law.
