Bill > H7771

This bill proposes to amend Rhode Island's minimum wage law, specifically Section 28-12-3, to establish a new minimum hourly wage of twenty-four dollars ($24.00) commencing January 1, 2027. The existing law outlines a schedule of past and future minimum wage increases, and this bill would replace the previously scheduled increase to seventeen dollars ($17.00) for January 1, 2027, with the higher rate of twenty-four dollars ($24.00). The bill also states that it will become effective immediately upon its passage.
