Summary of Bill HR 2262

Bill 119 HR 2262, also known as the "Fair Labor Standards Act Exclusion Act," aims to make changes to the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. The main goal of this bill is to exclude certain activities from being counted as hours worked for the purpose of determining overtime pay and other labor regulations.

The bill seeks to clarify and specify which activities should not be considered as hours worked, such as time spent on commuting, on-call time, and certain training activities. By excluding these activities, employers would not be required to pay employees for this time, potentially saving them money and reducing the burden of compliance with labor laws.

Supporters of the bill argue that it will provide more flexibility for employers and employees, allowing for a better work-life balance and increased productivity. However, critics are concerned that excluding certain activities from hours worked could lead to exploitation of workers and a decrease in overall wages. Overall, Bill 119 HR 2262 is a controversial piece of legislation that could have significant implications for labor laws and regulations in the United States. It is important for lawmakers and the public to carefully consider the potential impacts of this bill before making a decision on its passage.
