This bill would exempt certain outdoor recreation businesses from federal maximum hours requirements under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Specifically, it would allow employees who work as guides or outfitters for recreational activities to be exempt from overtime pay rules if their employer operates seasonally for seven months or less per year, or if the business has significantly uneven revenue across different six-month periods of the year. The bill affects outdoor recreation companies and their workers, particularly those in seasonal businesses like hunting guides, fishing outfitters, and similar services. No specific funding is mentioned in the legislation. The bill was introduced in November 2023 and referred to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce for consideration.
