AB 751: Rest periods: petroleum facilities: safety-sensitive positions.

The bill would extend an exemption from rest period requirements for employees holding a safety-sensitive position at a petroleum facility or a refinery that produces fuel through the processing of alternative feedstock. This exemption would apply to employees required to carry and monitor a communication device and respond to emergencies, or remain on employer premises to monitor the premises and respond to emergencies. The exemption would be extended indefinitely, allowing these employees to continue working without providing them with an additional rest period.
