EVV requirment could qualify states as joint employers under new Fair Labor Standards Act
 

From: NCIL Position Opposing Electronic Visit Verification:

The EVV  "requirement could result in the States being found as joint employers under the new Fair Labor Standards Act companionship rules, resulting in significant unfunded costs being imposed on the States.  This requirement, which is harmful and burdensome to both individuals and the States, cannot pass into law"
