S 2914 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to exempt certain employees engaged in outdoor recreational outfitting or guiding services from maximum hours requirements.

This bill adds a new exemption to the Fair Labor Standards Act for certain outdoor recreational guides and outfitting employees. It exempts workers primarily employed by businesses offering outdoor guiding or outfitting services if their employer operates for fewer than seven months annually or has a seasonal revenue pattern (where six-month revenue averages don't exceed one-third of the other six months). The exemption removes the requirement for overtime pay for hours worked beyond 40 per week under these specific conditions. This directly affects seasonal outdoor recreation businesses and their employees in this industry.
