This bill would delay the implementation of the Obama administration’s overtime rule that makes more salaried employees eligible for overtime pay until June 1, 2017. Under current law, the rule is slated to take effect on December 1, 2016 and would raise the maximum salary a person can receive while earning overtime pay from $23,660 to $47,476.

The Dept. of Labor released the final version of this rule on May 18, 2016.","official_title":"To provide for a 6-month delay in the effective date of a rule of the Department of Labor relating to income thresholds for determining overtime pay for executive, administrative, professional, outside sales, and computer employees.","short_title":"Regulatory Relief for Small Businesses, Schools, and Nonprofits Act","popular_title":null,"short_summary":"(This measure has not been amended since it was introduced.
