Creates a federal "Domestic Workers Bill of Rights" that establishes minimum labor protections for people who work in private homes and family child care settings. It requires written work agreements, earned paid sick time, fair scheduling, meal/rest breaks, privacy protections, limits on pay deductions, and anti‑retaliation rules; it directs the Department of Labor to make model agreements, run outreach/enforcement, fund a national hotline and community grants, and set rules for payment intermediaries and Medicaid‑funded services. The bill also temporarily raises the federal Medicaid matching rate (FMAP) for certain Medicaid services provided by domestic employees for a 20‑quarter period and authorizes funds to implement the law.
Referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce, and in addition to the Committees on House Administration, Energy and Commerce, Ways and Means, Oversight and Government Reform, and the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
