The proposal would allow outdoor recreation companies to pay workers in guiding and outfitting services less than the federal minimum wage and require them to work longer hours without overtime pay. This exemption would apply to employees like hiking guides, rafting instructors, and hunting outfitters who work in outdoor recreational activities. The change would affect thousands of outdoor industry workers across the country who could see their wages and hour protections reduced.
