[Legislativecommittee1] Bill to discuss - likely Important to our members HB 2611

Mon Jan 26 12:06:04 PST 2026

HB 2611 – 32 hour work week.  I suspect our members, as owners of businesses, will have strong feelings about having to pay overtime for workers who work more than 32 hours in a week.  A hearing is scheduled for tomorrow (1/27) at 10:30 am in Labor and Workplace Standards.

I defer to the group on how to categorize this bill.

Apologies if you responded to me that you are reviewing any of these bills over the last couple of days.  Between the Microsoft 365 outage and the issues we are having with the WLTA leg committee email, I have likely missed emails.  I'm sending this to everyone in the group that I have emails for directly.  There are 8 additional committee members that I don't have emails for presently but will add once I have them.  Please respond all with the bills you want to review.

Thanks!

Maureen
