AI Summary

This bill proposes to create a youth wage in Massachusetts. Specifically, it would amend the state's minimum wage law to exclude workers under 18 years of age who work less than 20 hours per week. For these workers, the federal minimum wage of $7.25 per hour under the Fair Labor Standards Act would apply, rather than the state's higher minimum wage.
