    HB 2127

    (b) For purposes of Subsection (a), a field occupied by a
    provision of this code includes employment leave, hiring practices,
    breaks, employment benefits, scheduling practices, and any other
    terms of employment that exceed or conflict with federal or state
    law for employers other than a municipality or county.

    So does this mean that all local government workers will get the same breaks as State employees?
