AI Summary
This bill, titled "State Minimum Wage," proposes to increase the state's minimum wage to $15 per hour for all hours worked within the state, and it explicitly prohibits employers from paying any employee less than this new minimum wage. Importantly, the bill removes a previous restriction that limited the state minimum wage's application only to individuals eligible for the federal minimum wage, meaning this higher state minimum wage will now apply more broadly. Additionally, the bill maintains the provision for annual adjustments to the minimum wage based on inflation, calculated using the Consumer Price Index, with these adjusted rates taking effect each January 1st. This act is set to become effective on January 1, 2017.
