Summary
The bill changes Maine's labor law to specify the salary level at which a worker is exempt from overtime pay. It adds a fixed $58,656 annual salary and a benchmark based on the 35th percentile of earnings in the lowest‑wage census region, alongside existing calculations. The change would affect executive, administrative and professional salaried employees and the employers who must apply the rule.
