HR 1962 United States House · 119th Congress

Guaranteeing Overtime for Truckers Act

This bill amends the Fair Labor Standards Act to remove an exemption that previously allowed certain truck drivers to be excluded from overtime pay requirements. It directly affects commercial truck drivers who were previously not required to receive overtime pay for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. The key mechanism is striking the existing exemption language in Section 13(b), which would require truck drivers to be paid overtime for all hours worked over 40 per week. This change would extend standard overtime protections to these workers under federal law. The bill focuses on a specific policy change to labor standards, not broader industry impacts.
