TASK Act

This bill changes the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, the federal law that sets rules such as minimum wage and overtime. It would add a rule saying that a person is not an "employee" under that law when they perform tasks and services that a postsecondary vocational school requires in order to earn a recognized postsecondary credential. The bill uses existing federal definitions of "postsecondary vocational institution" from the Higher Education Act of 1965 and "recognized postsecondary credential" from the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act.
