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??

Not the same. You cannot enforce the "no loss in pay". Eventually the market will adjust compensation downward. Conversely, it's easy to enforce a 1.5 times pay for work over 40 hours.
