Bill overview
This bill proposes an amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act to create an exemption for employees working in outdoor recreational outfitting and guiding services. Specifically, it would allow these employers to not be subject to the usual federal limits on employee work hours, under certain conditions. The exemption applies to employees who work for fewer than eight months a year or whose revenue is consistently around 133 1/3% of their average revenue from the previous six months. This change aims to recognize the seasonal nature of these industries.
