    ``(k)(1) Notwithstanding the provisions of subchapter II of chapter

the Administrative Procedures Act) or any other provision of law, any 
portion of the final rule promulgated on April 23, 2004, revising part 
541 of title 29, Code of Federal Regulations, that exempts from the 
overtime pay provision of section 7 of this Act any employee who would 
not otherwise be exempt if the regulations in effect on March 31, 2003, 
remained in effect, shall have no force or effect and that portion of 
such regulations (as in effect on March 31, 2003) that would prevent 
such employee from being exempt shall be reinstated.
    ``(2) The Secretary shall adjust the minimum salary level for 
exemption under section 13(a)(1) in the following manner:
            ``(A) Not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of

  TITLE III--SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING MULTIEMPLOYER PENSION PLANS

SEC. 121. SENSE OF THE SENATE REGARDING MULTIEMPLOYER PENSION PLANS.

    (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
            (1) Multiemployer pension plans have been a major force in 
        the delivery of employee benefits to active and retired 
        American workers and their dependents for over half a century.
            (2) There are approximately 1,700 multiemployer defined 
        benefit pension plans in which approximately 9,700,000 workers 
        and retirees participate.
            (3) Three-quarters of the approximately 60,000 to 65,000 
        employers that participate in multiemployer plans have fewer 
        that 100 employees.
            (4) Multiemployer plans allow for greater access and 
        affordability for smaller employers and pension portability for 
        their employees as they move from one job to another, and 
        permit workers to earn a pension where they might otherwise not 
        be able to do so.
            (5) The 2000-2002 drop in the stock market and decline in 
        equity values has affected all investors, including 
        multiemployer plans.
            (6) The decline in value sustained by multiemployer defined 
        benefit pension plans have threatened the stability of this 
        private sector source of secure retirement income.
            (7) Participating employers could face onerous excise taxes 
        and other penalties as a result of the serious, adverse 
        financial impact due to these market losses.
            (8) In 2004, the United States Senate recognized the 
        severity of this situation and passed by an overwhelmingly, 
        large bipartisan margin of 86 to 9 temporary relief provisions 
        for single and multiemployer defined benefit pension plans.
    (b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that the 
Senate--
            (1) expresses its strong support for multiemployer defined 
        benefit pension plans;
            (2) recognizes the importance of an environment in which 
        multiemployer plans can continue their vital role in providing 
        benefits to working men and women;
            (3) recognizes that multiemployer pension plan relief must 
        be designed for the multiemployer labor-relations environment 
        that supports the plans; and
            (4) supports legislation to strengthen and protect the 
        viability of multiemployer pension plans for the continued 
        benefit of current and retired members, and their families and 
        survivors, and to strengthen the ability of all plans to 
        address funding problems that occur.
Amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (FLSA) to deny any force or effect to any portion of a rule promulgated on April 23, 2004, that has the effect of exempting from FLSA overtime compensation requirements (which limit maximum hours at regular compensation) any employee who would not otherwise be exempted if regulations in effect on March 31, 2003, remained in effect. Reinstates that portion of such regulations that would prevent such an employee from being exempt. Directs the Secretary of Labor to increase, in a specified manner, the minimum salary level for the exemption for executive, administrative, and managerial occupations from FLSA overtime compensation requirements.

Amends the FLSA to increase the Federal minimum wage to: (1) $5.85 an hour, beginning on the 60th day after enactment of this Act; (2) $6.55 an hour, beginning 12 months after that 60th day; and (3) $7.25 an hour, beginning 24 months after that 60th day.

Expresses the sense of the Senate regarding multiemployer pension plans.

SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    The Congress finds that--
            (1) increased parental involvement in the education of 
        their children appears to be the key to long-term gains for 
        youngsters;
            (2) providing seed money is an appropriate role for the 
        Federal Government to play in education;
            (3) children participating in the parents as teachers 
        program in Missouri are found to have increased cognitive or

        predictors of school success;
            (4) most early childhood programs begin at age 3 or 4 when 
        remediation may already be necessary; and
            (5) many children receive no health screening between birth 
        and the time they enter school, thus such children miss the 
        opportunity of having developmental delays detected early.
