Bill > HB259

This bill requires that public contracts for services include provisions to increase reimbursement for contractors and subcontractors to cover any wage increases resulting from increases in the state's minimum wage. The bill also mandates that individuals employed under such contracts who are paid the state minimum wage must receive wage increases concurrent with increases in the state minimum wage. The key terms defined in the bill include "contract" (any agreement for the procurement of services), "services" (the furnishing of labor, time or effort not involving a specific end product), and "subcontract" (a contract subordinate to another superordinate contract to procure services).
