[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NY law fact sheet: https://labor.ny.gov/legal/laws/pdf/domestic-workers/facts-for-domestic-workers.pdf

At the end it states that au pairs are exempt. [/quote]

Can you point to the page or section? I did a quick search of "au pairs", "au pair", "j1" etc but can't find anything. Thanks[/quote]

Ha, i found it but it is a different document:

https://labor.ny.gov/legal/laws/pdf/domestic-workers/facts-for-employers.pdf

"The only exception is au pairs hired through the federal au pair program and admitted
into the United States under a J-1 visa, which are subject to special federal rules. "[/quote]

^^ below are the councilmembers (with the person in charge of the bill email) that you should contact regardless of where you live in DC because they are all on the committee responsible for this bill. Additionally contact your ward councilmember. I have had productive talk with some of the people listed below but you got to keep the pressure on and keep referring to New York law and send the link above if needed. They are not getting enough call because some of them had no idea what I was talking about. Unlike Massachusetts, DC is small and we can have a big influence on this decision.
