That sentence, in plain words

Up to $33,000,000 may pay for extra hours in 2025. That pay goes above the normal yearly cap.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
