A bill for an act increasing the state minimum hourly wage and providing for subsequent increases by the same percentage as the increase in federal social security benefits.

Summary

The bill lifts the state minimum hourly wage to $10 on July 1 2026, then to $12.50 in 2027 and $15 in 2028, with a lower floor for workers in their first 90 days. Starting in 2029, the wage will automatically rise each July by the same percentage as any increase in federal Social Security benefits, but it can never be reduced. Counties and cities are also allowed to set higher minimum wages than the state level.
