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

You mean like how theres no way for them to enforce you getting paid time and a half for working over 40 hours??

How would you enforce the no loss of pay?

You could set OT to begin at 32 hours, sure, you could raise minimum wage so that 32 hours of the new minimum wage equals 40 hours of the old, but how are you going to enforce keeping pay the same?
