Congressman French Hill Statement on DOL Overtime Rule

WASHINGTON Today, after the Department of Labor finalized its overtime rule, Congressman French Hill (AR-02) released the following statement:

“The Obama Administration’s decision to move forward with this rule ignores the more than 250,000 comments submitted to the agency that outline the costly impacts of this overly-burdensome regulation on our nation’s small businesses, cities, towns, universities, and non-profit organizations. I support Congress acting to prevent the implementation of this ill-advised rule and working to provide the modernization of the overtime rule that respects regional differences within the United States, promotes flexibility in the workplace, and allows for career advancement for hardworking Americans.”
