Bill Summary

Relative to the payment of wages for persons under 18 years of age who work less than 20 per week. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to create a "youth wage" that would apply to workers under 18 years of age who work less than 20 hours per week. For these workers, the federal minimum wage under the Fair Labor Standards Act (29 U.S.C. § 206) would apply, rather than the higher state minimum wage. This would allow employers to pay a lower wage to certain younger, part-time workers.
