MINOR

The bill was amended to streamline its structure by removing a redundant section on employer burden of proof and renumbering the remaining sections. The core policy provisions regarding the 'faithless servant reform act' remain unchanged, establishing strict limits on when employers can withhold employee wages.

TECHNICAL

Removed a duplicate section detailing the employer's burden of proof, which was previously included in the labor law section but is now consolidated elsewhere.

Renumbered the remaining sections of the labor law and executive law amendments to fill the gap left by the removed text.

Updated the bill's procedural status to reflect that it has been amended and recommitted to the Labor Committee.
