Summary
The Rural Emergency Response Support Act changes the Fair Labor Standards Act so that public agencies in states with fewer than 100,000 residents, and private contractors working for them, are not required to pay overtime to emergency medical technicians or paramedics. It affects employers and workers in sparsely populated areas, aiming to ease staffing and budget pressures for rural emergency services.
