Outdoor Recreational Outfitting and Guiding Act

This bill proposes to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA) by introducing a new exemption from federal minimum wage and maximum hours requirements. The exemption specifically targets employees primarily engaged in outdoor recreational outfitting, which includes equipment rentals, or guiding services. To qualify, these employees must be employed by a business that meets specific seasonal criteria. The business must either operate for no more than seven months in any calendar year, or its average receipts for any six months of the preceding year must not exceed 33 1/3 percent of its average receipts for the other six months. This amendment would apply to wages and overtime compensation for workweeks beginning on or after the date of the bill's enactment.
