(This measure has not been amended since it was introduced. The summary has been expanded because action occurred on the measure.) Regulatory Relief for Small Businesses, Schools, and Nonprofits Act (Sec. 2) This bill postpones from December 1, 2016, until June 1, 2017, the effective date of a final rule of the Department of Labor (81 Fed. Reg. 32552 [May 23, 2016]) revising income thresholds for determining overtime pay for executive, administrative, professional, outside sales, and computer ("white collar") employees exempt from regular minimum wage and overtime pay requirements. Nothing in this bill shall be construed as providing authority for such rule, nor any part of it, that is not otherwise provided by law.
