Bill > SB236

This bill amends a New Mexico law concerning the minimum salary for state employees, specifically changing the minimum hourly wage from a previous, unspecified rate to $10.10 per hour. The amendment also clarifies that this minimum wage applies to individuals regularly employed at state educational institutions, as defined by the higher education department, and excludes student employees. The original law, Section 10-7-9 NMSA 1978, previously set a minimum monthly salary of $400, but this bill updates it to an hourly rate, aligning with modern minimum wage standards.
