AI Summary
This bill, titled the Raise the Wage Act of 2023, proposes to gradually increase the federal minimum wage over a period of 6 years, with the final minimum wage tied to increases in the median hourly wage of all employees. The bill also phases out the separate, lower minimum wage for tipped employees and for newly hired employees under 20 years old. Additionally, the bill transitions individuals with disabilities receiving a special minimum wage to the standard minimum wage over a 5-year period, while prohibiting new special certificates for employers to pay workers with disabilities less than the minimum wage.
