Bill information
Summary
To amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to remove the overtime wages exemption for certain employees, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
This bill would change federal labor law to require overtime pay for certain truck drivers who are currently exempt from overtime rules. The Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 sets minimum wage and overtime rules for most workers, but truckers are currently excluded from the overtime requirement. This bill removes that exemption so truckers would earn time-and-a-half pay for hours over 40 per week, like other workers. The bill is currently introduced in Congress and has not yet been assigned to a for review.
