Bill Summary

Relative to a youth training wage. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to create a "youth training wage" that would apply to workers under the age of 18 who work 20 hours or less per week and require a work permit. The bill would exempt these workers from the state's minimum wage law for the first 120 hours of their employment with a new employer, during which time they would be subject to a minimum wage of at least $10 per hour. The goal of this legislation is to provide a lower training wage for young workers who are new to the workforce and may require additional support and guidance as they develop their skills.
