She will work to amend federal labor rules so rural EMS employees can work 80 hours over a 14-day period instead of the current 40-hour, 7-day limit.
Occurrences
Congresswoman Celeste Maloy and Senator John Curtis introduced the Rural Emergency Response Support Act, legislation that would amend the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to allow rural emergency medical services employees to work 80 hours over a 14-day period, rather than the current 40-hour, 7-day limit.
Evidence
Maloy announced the Rural Emergency Response Support Act to allow rural EMS employees "80 hours over a 14-day period."
GovInfo lists H.R. 7739 as introduced and referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
Assessments
Maloy took concrete same-term action matching the promise by introducing H.R. 7739, the Rural Emergency Response Support Act, to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act for rural EMS scheduling on an 80-hour/14-day basis. The latest located bill status remains introduction and referral to the House Committee on Education and Workforce, with no enacted federal labor-rule change yet. That merits credit for material advancement, but not full delivery.
