        from tax under this chapter and which does not meet the 
        requirements for qualification under section 401.

adding after that paragraph the following:
            ``(17) any employee who is a computer systems analyst, 
        computer programmer, software engineer, or other similarly 
        skilled worker, whose primary duty is--
                    ``(A) the application of systems analysis 
                techniques and procedures, including consulting with

                functional specifications;
                    ``(B) the design, development, documentation, 
                analysis, creation, testing, or modification of 
                computer systems or programs, including prototypes, 
                based on and related to user or system design 
                specifications;
                    ``(C) the design, documentation, testing, creation, 
                or modification of computer programs related to machine 
                operating systems; or
                    ``(D) a combination of duties described in 
                subparagraphs (A), (B), and (C) the performance of 
                which requires the same level of skills, and

    (b) Tip Credit.--The next to last sentence of section 3(m) of the 
Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C. 203(m)) is amended to read 
as follows: ``In determining the wage an employer is required to pay a 
tipped employee, the amount paid such employee by the employee's 
employer shall be an amount equal to--
            ``(1) the cash wage paid such employee which for purposes 
        of such determination shall be not less than the cash wage 
        required to be paid such an employee on the date of the 
        enactment of this paragraph; and
            ``(2) an additional amount on account of the tips received 
        by such employee which amount is equal to the difference 
        between the wage specified in paragraph (1) and the cash wage 
        in effect under section 6(a)(1).
The additional amount on account of tips may not exceed the value of 
the tips actually received by an employee.''.
    (c) Opportunity Wage.--Section 6 of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 
1938 (29 U.S.C. 206) is amended by adding at the end the following:
    ``(g)(1) In lieu of the rate prescribed by subsection (a)(1), any 
employer may pay any employee of such employer, during the first 90 
consecutive calendar days after such employee is initially employed by 
such employer, a wage which is not less than $4.25 an hour.
    ``(2) No employer may take any action to displace employees 
(including partial displacements such as reduction in hours, wages, or 
employment benefits) for purposes of hiring individuals at the wage 
authorized in paragraph (1).
    ``(3) Any employer who violates this subsection shall be considered 
to have violated section 15(a)(3).
    ``(4) This subsection shall only apply to an employee who has not 
attained the age of 20 years.''.
