How to read this

Sectors are deterministic matches from official Congress.gov data and cached bill text. They are source-derived signals, not conclusions about intent or economic effect.

Evidence matches count official fields, normalized subjects, cached text snippets, or extracted entities that matched the sector rules.

Impact is a bill-level rollup used for sorting and filtering. It is not an economic impact estimate.

Confidence is the strongest individual match score behind that sector.

Evidence snippets show why a sector matched and can repeat when Congress.gov repeats the same phrase across official fields.

Summary

36 Passed House amended May 29, 2002

Amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (the Act) to eliminate a requirement involving substantial documentary evidence for purposes of special minimum wage order determinations for American Samoa. Requires, instead, that the evidence necessary to justify such special wage orders must establish that the industry, or a predominant portion of it, cannot pay the regular minimum wage due to certain economic and competitive conditions. Directs the Secretary of Labor, within 90 days, to promulgate regulations that interpret a specified professional exemption from overtime provisions under the Act to include computer systems analysts, software engineers, and other similarly skilled professional workers, even if such employees are compensated on an hourly basis, as long as they are compensated at an hourly rate at least six one-half times greater than the minimum.
