Abstract: The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is the primary federal statute in the fields of minimum wage, overtime pay, child labor, and related subjects. In the 109th Congress, legislation in a variety of forms has been introduced that would modify the act in each of these areas, and that would extend the act's minimum wage protections to workers in the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI).
