Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
This bill would end a special rule that lets many trucking companies avoid paying overtime. It removes the overtime pay exemption in the Fair Labor Standards Act for certain motor carrier workers. That means these workers would have to be paid overtime (time-and-a-half) when they work more than 40 hours in a week, like most other workers under federal law.
