Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the labor law, in relation to the minimum wage outside of New York city and the counties of Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester; and to repeal certain provisions of such law relating to exceptions to minimum wage increases
AI Summary
This bill modifies the minimum wage requirements for workers in New York State outside of New York City and the counties of Nassau, Suffolk, and Westchester. Specifically, the legislation increases the minimum hourly wage from $15.50 to $17.00 on January 1, 2026, instead of the previously planned $16.00 increase. The bill also repeals a specific paragraph (paragraph (d) of subdivision 1-b of section 652 of the labor law) related to minimum wage regulations. The wage increase will apply to all employers in the remainder of the state, ensuring that workers receive at least $17.00 per hour starting in 2026, unless a higher federal minimum wage is established. This change continues the state's ongoing efforts to incrementally raise the minimum wage to provide better compensation for workers across New York State's more rural and suburban regions. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
