                subsection (h)(2)(F)) for all preceding taxable years.
            ``(6) Definitions.--For purposes of this subsection, the
        terms `registered nurse', `nurse practitioner', and
        `physician's assistant' have the meaning given such terms by
        section 1861 of the Social Security Act.''.
    (b) Deduction Allowed in Computing Adjusted Gross Income.--Section
62(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 is amended by inserting
after paragraph (14) the following new paragraph:
            ``(15) Interest on student loans of rural health

        163(h)(2)(F) (relating to student loan payments of medical
        professionals practicing in rural areas).''.
    (c) Effective Date.--The amendments made by this section shall
apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 1992.

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Protecting Workplace Advancement and
Opportunity Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds the following:
            (1) The proposed rule of the Department of Labor entitled
        ``Defining and Delimiting the Exemptions for Executive,
        Administrative, Professional, Outside Sales and Computer
        Employees'' (80 Fed. Reg. 38516 (July 6, 2015)) provides a
        minimum salary requirement that would be--
                    (A) a 113 percent increase during the first year
                after the final rule takes effect from the salary
                threshold in effect on February 29, 2016; and
                    (B) an increase that would set the Federal minimum
                salary threshold 20 percent higher than the minimum
                salary threshold under any State law effective on the
                date of enactment of this Act.
            (2) The Secretary significantly underestimated the cost of
        compliance with the July 6, 2015, proposed rule. Public
        comments calculate such rule will impose financial and non-
        financial costs substantially higher than those estimated by
        the Department.
            (3) According to the Office of Advocacy of the Small
        Business Administration, the initial regulatory flexibility
        analysis of the July 6, 2015, proposed rule required under
        section 603 of title 5, United States Code, failed to
        adequately identify the number of small entities affected by
        such rule and failed to address how such rule would affect
        regions with lower costs of living and differences in certain
        industries. On September 4, 2015, the Office of Advocacy of the
        Small Business Administration submitted comments to the
        Secretary regarding such rule, including recommendations to--
                    (A) reanalyze ``the economic impact of this rule on
                small businesses'', to ``provide a more accurate
                estimate of the small entities impacted by this
                proposal'', and to ``include an analysis of industry
                sub-sectors, regional differences, and revenue sizes'';
                    (B) reanalyze ``the number of small non-profit
                organizations and small governmental jurisdictions . .
                . that are affected by this rule and the economic
                impact of this rule on these entities''; and
                    (C) provide greater transparency with respect to
                ``compliance cost data'' and to ``utilize data provided
                in the comment process to accurately estimate the human
                resources and financial management costs of this
                regulation''.
            (4) The Secretary did not consider the potential impact of
        the July 6, 2015, proposed rule on workplace flexibility.
        Public comments address concerns that employees who are
        reclassified from exempt to nonexempt employees may no longer
        be able to participate in workplace flexibility arrangements
        and programs.
            (5) The Secretary did not analyze the potential impact of
        the July 6, 2015, proposed rule on companies that operate in
        multiple States with different costs of living and different
        salary scales, and the costs and unique complications for these
        employers associated with reclassifying thousands of employees
        in multiple States.
            (6) The July 6, 2015, proposed rule automatically updates
        the salary threshold on an annual basis for purposes of
        defining employees subject to the exemption under section
        13(a)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C.
        213(a)(1)) for all subsequent years, contrary to the
        requirement under such section that the definitions applicable
        for the exemption shall be ``defined and delimited from time to
        time by regulations of the Secretary''. The Secretary does not

SEC. 5. RULE OF CONSTRUCTION.

    The requirement under section 13(a)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards
Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C. 213(a)(1)) that the definitions applicable for
the exemption under such section be ``defined and delimited from time
to time by regulations of the Secretary'' shall be construed to--
            (1) require the Secretary to issue a new rule through
        notice and comment rulemaking in accordance with section 553 of
        title 5, United States Code, for each change in any salary
        threshold under such section 13(a)(1) proposed by the
        Secretary; and
            (2) exclude any rule that would result in changes to any
        salary threshold under such section for multiple time periods,
        including through any automatic updating procedure.

SEC. 6. REQUIREMENTS FOR DUTIES TESTS.

    The Secretary may not promulgate any final rule that includes any
provision revising any of the duties tests provided in part 541 of
title 29, Code of Federal Regulations (or any successor regulation),
for exemption under section 13(a)(1) of the Fair Labor Standards Act of
1938 (29 U.S.C. 213(a)(1)) unless specific regulatory text for the
provision was proposed in the proposed rule.

Output: Protecting Workplace Advancement and Opportunity Act This bill declares that the proposed or the final rule of the Department of Labor entitled "Defining and Delimiting the Exemptions for Executive, Administrative, Professional, Outside Sales and Computer Employees" shall cease to have any force or effect. The rule revises the "white collar" exemption of executive, administrative, professional, outside sales, and computer employees from minimum wage and maximum hour, or overtime, requirements of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA).  If the proposed rule is a final rule on the date of enactment of this bill:  Labor shall not enforce it based on conduct occurring before that enactment date, an employee shall not have any right of action against an employer for the employer's failure to comply with the final rule at any time before that enactment date, any regulations that were amended by the final rule shall be restored and revived as if the final rule had never taken effect, and nothing in this bill shall be construed to create a right of action for an employer against an employee for the recoupment of any payments made to the employee before the enactment of this bill that were in compliance with that final rule.  Labor may promulgate any substantially similar rule only if it has completed certain required actions; but the rule shall not contain any automatic updates to the salary threshold for purposes of exemptions to minimum wage and maximum hour requirements under the FLSA. The requirement that definitions applicable for such exemptions be defined and delimited from time to time by Labor regulations shall be construed to:  require Labor to issue a new rule through notice and comment rulemaking for each change in any salary threshold it has proposed; and exclude any rule that would result in changes to any salary threshold for multiple time periods, including through any automatic updating procedure.  Labor may not promulgate any final rule that includes any revision to duties tests for exemption from minimum wage and maximum hours requirements unless specific regulatory text for the provision was proposed in the proposed rule.

Output: EQIP Improvement Act of 2018  This bill amends the Food Security Act of 1985 to modify the Department of Agriculture (USDA) Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP). (EQIP provides financial and technical assistance for agricultural producers and land owners to implement certain conservation practices.)  The bill modifies EQIP to:    reduce the maximum federal cost-share from 75% to 40% for specified practices,   repeal the requirement for at least 60% of the funds made available for EQIP payments to be targeted at practices relating to livestock production, and  reduce the five-year EQIP payment cap from $450,000 to $150,000.  The bill also requires USDA to: (1) coordinate the program with the conservation effects assessments carried out by USDA, and (2) revise the guidance issued to states for allocating funds to require data regarding environmental concerns to be used as a primary factor to prioritize projects.  USDA must prioritize EQIP applications that consist only of the performance of certain land management or vegetative practices that are a cost-effective means of addressing the most pressing impairments that threaten to degrade or impair water quality, water quantity, soil or related natural resources within a local watershed, or a specific natural resource boundary.
