The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes regarding overtime compensation for law enforcement and probation officers. It would clarify the definition of "each hour worked" to include principal activities performed by employees while excluding activities not compensable under the Portal-to-Portal Act of 1947. Additionally, the bill would make technical changes to the language, such as updating terms like "work week" to "workweek" and "two week" to "two-week," as well as modifying phrases like "hour for hour" to "hour-for-hour."

Furthermore, the bill maintains the existing compensation structure for law enforcement and probation officers, specifying that those engaged in law enforcement activities must be compensated for hours worked over 40 in a workweek, and those engaged in probation officer activities must be compensated for hours worked over 80 in a two-week work period. The compensation rates remain the same, with options for one and one-half times the regular rate or compensatory time off, depending on whether federal law mandates overtime compensation.
