Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.
This bill would exempt outdoor recreation guides and outfitters from federal minimum wage and maximum hours requirements under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The exemption would apply to employees who primarily work providing services like equipment rentals, guided tours, or other outdoor recreational activities for companies whose main business is offering these services. The legislation was introduced in June 2026 and referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. No specific funding or implementation timeline is included in the bill text. This change would primarily affect workers in the outdoor recreation industry, potentially allowing employers in this sector to pay below the federal minimum wage and set longer work hours without overtime compensation requirements.
