Bill Summary
For legislation to promote an enhanced care worker minimum wage. Health Care Financing.
AI Summary
This bill aims to promote an enhanced care worker minimum wage. It amends the Massachusetts General Laws to require that the minimum wage paid to employees of social service program providers, home care agencies, nursing homes, and rest homes receiving state payments be no less than 140 percent of the statewide minimum wage. The executive office is required to adjust the rates of payment to these providers to fully account for the cost of paying the enhanced minimum wage. The executive office must also hold public hearings and investigate the wage rates and working conditions for these care workers before establishing the new payment rates.
