What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Current state and federal law generally require employees to be paid a
minimum wage. Current federal law, however, exempts from that requirement
employees employed in the capacity of outside salesman, which federal regulations
define as an employee whose primary duty is making sales or obtaining orders or
contracts for services or for the use of facilities for which a consideration will be paid
by the client or customer and who is customarily and regularly engaged away from
the employer's place of business in performing that primary duty (outside
salesperson). Outside salespersons are not similarly exempt from the state
minimum wage law. This bill exempts outside salespersons from the state minimum
wage law.
