Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-CA) sponsored this bill, which removes real estate agents and direct sellers of consumer products from the definition of "employee" under federal wage and hour law. This exemption means these workers would no longer be required to receive minimum wage or overtime pay under the Fair Labor Standards Act. The bill has 31 cosponsors (11 Democrats, 20 Republicans) and received a supplemental committee report in September 2026.
