Relates to the definition of manual worker
S 3646 clarifies the legal definition of a "manual worker" in labor law to mean someone whose primary job involves physical labor. It specifically excludes minor league baseball players covered by collective bargaining agreements that set their pay and working conditions. The bill requires the labor commissioner to create regulations and publish a list of occupations presumed to meet this definition. This change takes effect immediately and applies to workers covered under the state's labor laws.
