About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · June 5, 2024
Referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
This joint resolution disapproves a Department of Labor rule issued in April 2024 that would have changed how employers classify certain workers as exempt from overtime pay requirements. The rule would have affected executives, administrators, professionals, outside salespeople, and computer employees by potentially expanding eligibility for overtime protections by raising salary thresholds. If passed, this resolution would use the Congressional Review Act to block the rule entirely, preventing it from taking effect. The measure is sponsored by Republican members of Congress who oppose the Labor Department's overtime expansion. No funding or specific timeline is mentioned in the resolution, as its sole purpose is to invalidate the Labor Department's action.
