SUMMARY

This amendment, which is the minority report, strikes and replaces the bill. It amends the description of a salaried employee in the laws governing exemptions to limits on mandatory overtime and the definition of "employee" in the laws governing exemptions to the minimum wage by eliminating any increase to the salary threshold due to the cost-of-living adjustment to the minimum wage after January 1, 2020.
