Bill Summary
Relative to wages paid to persons under eighteen years of age. Labor and Workforce Development.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to create an "opportunity wage" for workers under the age of 18, which would allow employers to pay them a wage that is more than 20% lower than the minimum wage. However, the commissioner would need to expressly approve the establishment and payment of this lower "opportunity wage" under the provisions of sections seven and nine. The bill aims to provide younger workers with more job opportunities by allowing employers to pay them a lower wage.
