Bill Summary

AN ACT REPEALING SECTION 50-4-23 NMSA 1978 (BEING LAWS 1967, CHAPTER 242, SECTION 1, AS AMENDED), WHICH PROVIDES FOR REDUCED MINIMUM WAGES FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES.

AI Summary

This bill repeals Section 50-4-23 of the New Mexico Statutes Annotated (NMSA) 1978, which previously allowed for reduced minimum wages to be paid to persons with disabilities. The repeal means that persons with disabilities in New Mexico will now be entitled to the full state minimum wage, as opposed to a lower, reduced rate that was previously permitted under state law.
