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 replacing "work week" with "workweek" and "hour for hour" with "hour-for-hour," ensuring consistency and clarity in the statute.

Furthermore, the bill maintains the existing provisions that require law enforcement personnel to be compensated for hours worked over 40 in a workweek and probation officers for hours worked over 80 in a two-week work period, with compensation options based on federal law mandates. It also preserves the ability for employers and employees to enter into agreements that may alter these compensation provisions, ensuring flexibility in employment arrangements.
