What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, in general, every employer must withhold from an employee's wages an amount that is determined by the Department of Revenue (DOR) according to withholding tables that are prepared by DOR. Current law exempts from this withholding requirement any county fair association with regard to an employee who receives less than $100 annually in wages or salary from the association.
This bill increases the exemption amount to $500.
