Occurrences
Evidence
Representative Mark Takano, Representative Alma Adams, and Senator Bernie Sanders "reintroduced the Restoring Overtime Pay Act" to expand and strengthen overtime protections; Takano said, "I am proud to introduce this bill."
Takano's official sponsored-legislation page lists H.R.8868 as "Sponsored" with the description: "To amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to establish a minimum salary threshold for bona fide executive, administrative, and professional employees exempt from Federal overtime compensation requirements, and automatically update such threshold each year, and for other purposes."
Assessments
The promise was to support and reintroduce legislation expanding and strengthening overtime pay protections, not necessarily to enact it. The evidence shows Takano reintroduced the Restoring Overtime Pay Act with Rep. Adams and Sen. Sanders and is listed as sponsoring H.R.8868 to raise and automatically update the overtime salary threshold. That directly satisfies the promised legislative action in his current federal term.
