The Department of Labor issued the new administrative rules in 2004 regarding overtime exemptions. The House of Representatives and Congress could pass legislation related to overtime exemptions, but they did not issue these specific rules in 2004. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is a business advocacy group and does not have regulatory authority over labor laws.
