Summary

The proposal sets Florida’s state minimum wage at $6.15 per hour and permits employers to exempt workers in structured work‑based learning programs—such as internships or pre‑apprenticeships—if they sign a voluntary waiver. The waiver cannot be forced, must meet documentation requirements, and for minors also needs a parent’s signature. After the learning period ends, the employee must be paid at least the state minimum wage.
