This bill would change federal labor law to clarify that direct sellers and real estate agents are not classified as employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Direct sellers typically work for companies selling products directly to consumers, while qualified real estate agents work on commission selling or leasing properties. By excluding these workers from the employee definition, they would not be entitled to minimum wage, overtime pay, or other protections that apply to traditional employees. The bill references existing definitions in the tax code to determine who qualifies for this exclusion. The legislation was introduced in September 2023 but contains no specific funding or implementation timeline.
