Summary

The bill repeals existing wage statutes and creates new definitions for the consumer price index and "small employer" (50 or fewer workers). It sets specific minimum‑wage rates for 2026‑2034, with lower rates for small employers and tipped workers, and directs the Department of Workforce Development to set wages for certain occupations and to adjust the base wage each year using the CPI. It also allows municipalities to adopt their own minimum‑wage ordinances.
