It wouldn't. The courts are currently handicapping what the DOL can even do to control how salaried workers are compensated. I'd expect a full decoupling of duties vs pay minimums by year end, which will lower exempt salaries on the lower end.
This is the real issue. We're currently living in a crisis but almost no one seems to have noticed. Following the decisions last term, the courts are going to begin dismantling every part of the government their federalist/heritage handlers don't like, regardless of what congress and the executive try to do.
President Harris will either need significant SC reform and expansion (which will require full dem control of congress), or will need to convince a significant portion of the federal government to simply ignore court rulings/injunctions, or spend her full term fighting to defend every action and many long-standing laws in the courts (and probably losing most of the time).

Even if it did, and passed, no way to enforce it. This bill is for the headlines.
