Nearly identical bills were
introduced in 1995, 1997, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2008, 2009, 2013, 2015, and
now 2017. That is 10 times over 22 years. Each time, the bill never
becomes law, and it won't become law now either. But that is how the
Republicans want to spend their time in this body when we actually have
important things to discuss that could become law, like fixing our
broken immigration system. This bill somehow claims to provide employees with more flexibility,
but the only flexibility are for the bosses. Instead of receiving
overtime, workers would receive comp time; so their paychecks won't get
anything out of extra time worked.
