AI Summary
This bill increases the state minimum wage to $15 per hour for all hours worked within the state, prohibiting employers from paying less than this rate and removing a previous restriction that limited the state minimum wage only to individuals eligible for the federal minimum wage, which is the minimum wage set by the U.S. government under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Additionally, the bill mandates that the Department of Economic Opportunity will annually adjust the minimum wage based on inflation, using a consumer price index, with these adjustments taking effect each January 1st, and the entire act is set to become effective on January 1, 2017.
