Why this matters
Scheduling-standards legislation is a distinct labor-policy category from minimum wage or paid leave, targeting predictability of hours and last-minute schedule changes that shape worker income and employer staffing costs. If enacted, covered employers would face new compliance obligations (advance schedules, potential premium pay), while workers gain a new statutory right; tracking scope and thresholds is essential to assessing impact.
