  "MatterEXText5": "This bill would require all bodegas, delis, and dukkans to prominently display a sign near each store entrance or cash register, with a warning that assaulting retail workers is a felony punishable by up to 25 years’ imprisonment. The Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP) would promulgate regulations for such signs’ required appearance and manner of display, as well as penalties for noncompliance. The signs would be provided to owners and operators of bodegas, delis, dukkans, and retail shops at no cost by DCWP, in cooperation with the Department of Small Business Services. The proposed legislation would be known as the “Alshawish Worker Protection Law.”",
