Bill Summary

For legislation to authorize municipal increases in minimum wages. Labor and Workforce Development.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend Chapter 151 of the General Laws by adding a new paragraph that would allow cities and towns to establish their own minimum wage rates that are higher than the state-mandated minimum wage, including a separate higher rate for tipped employees. These locally set minimum wages would then be the official minimum wages for the purposes of all laws related to their administration and enforcement, and the bill also suggests that specific municipal officials could share enforcement authority with the state's Attorney General.
