Bill Summary

(Flesch Readability Score: 60.1). Repeals provisions requiring employers to pay overtime to agricultural workers who work in excess of the maximum allowable hours.

Takes effect on the 91st day following adjournment sine die.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to repeal provisions related to agricultural overtime pay requirements in Oregon, effectively eliminating the legal mandate for employers to pay overtime to agricultural workers and removing associated tax credits. Specifically, the bill removes references to agricultural overtime pay from multiple Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) sections, including those related to wage claims, civil penalties, and tax credits. The legislation would eliminate ORS 315.133 (agricultural overtime pay credit) and related statutes such as 653.271-653.278, which previously established overtime pay requirements for agricultural workers. These changes mean that agricultural employers will no longer be legally required to pay overtime rates for hours worked beyond a standard workweek, nor will they be eligible for tax credits related to such overtime payments. The bill is set to take effect 91 days after the adjournment of the 2025 regular legislative session, providing a clear timeline for the repeal of these agricultural worker overtime provisions.
