Provides overtime compensation exceptions for employers of emergency medical technicians and paramedics in rural areas.
The Rural Emergency Response Support Act amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to exempt certain employers from overtime compensation requirements for emergency medical technicians and paramedics in rural areas. Specifically, it excludes public agencies with fewer than 100,000 residents and private entities contracted with such agencies from violating overtime provisions when employing these professionals. This change aims to support emergency response efforts in less populated regions.
