This bill would change federal wage law so that certain employees in trucking would no longer be left out of overtime pay rules. In simple terms, it would remove an existing overtime exemption, which could mean more truck drivers and similar workers would have to be paid extra when they work more than 40 hours in a week. The bill is very short and mainly makes this one change to the Fair Labor Standards Act.
- It amends the federal law that sets rules for minimum wage and overtime pay.
- It removes one part of the law that currently exempts certain employees from overtime requirements.
- The practical effect would be to expand overtime pay coverage for some workers in the trucking industry.
