        <RULE_TITLE>Amendments to the Fair Labor Standards Act</RULE_TITLE>
        <ABSTRACT><![CDATA[Small Business Job Protection Act of 1996 (H.R. 3448) enacted on August 20, 1996 (Pub. L. 104-188, title II) amended the Portal-to-Portal Act (PA) and the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The U.S. Troop Readiness, Veterans Care, Katrina Recovery, and Iraq Accountability Appropriations Act, 2007 (Pub. L. 110-28) also amended the FLSA by increasing the minimum wage in three steps: to $5.85 per hour effective July 24, 2007; to $6.55 per hour effective July 24, 2008; and to $7.25 per hour effective July 24, 2009. Changes will be required in the regulations to reflect these amendments.  Other updates will address needed clarifications to additional sections of the regulations, including sections affected by Public Law 106-151, section 1 (December 9, 1999), 113 stat. 1731, and Public Law 106-202 (May 18, 2000), 114 Stat. 308.]]></ABSTRACT>
