Read the official explanation
This bill increases the state minimum hourly wage to $15.00 as of July 1, 2023. The bill increases the state minimum hourly wage for employees employed for less than days to $14.10 as of July 1, 2023. The bill also increases the state minimum hourly wage, including the minimum hourly wage established for employees employed for less than days, annually on July 1, beginning July 1, 2024, by the same percentage as the cost-of-living increase, if any, in social security benefits effective as of the previous December, as authorized by the federal social security administration. In no case shall the state hourly wage be decreased.
