Text
Bill Intelligence

The bill proposes a gradual increase in the federal minimum wage, starting at $9.50 per hour and reaching $17.00 per hour over six years, including for tipped employees. It aims to eliminate separate minimum wages for newly hired employees under 20 years old to ensure equal pay for similar work. The bill also seeks to raise the minimum wage for individuals with disabilities over the next six years. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of publishing notices in the Federal Register to inform about any wage increases. If enacted, the bill will take effect on the first day of the third month after its enactment.
