Two Bills supporting the establishment of a State Minimum Wage

HB 127 seeks to establish wages for employees in the state of the higher of $8.00 per hour or the amount established in federal minimum wage law. The bill further requires the commissioner of the Department of Labor, on September 1, 2013 and biennially thereafter, to recalculate the minimum wage by adjusting the current year’s wage by the rate of inflation.
