AN ACT ELIMINATING THE SUBMINIMUM WAGE.

HB 5761 eliminates the subminimum wage in the state by amending statutes 31-58 and 31-60 to remove provisions allowing payments below the standard minimum wage. This directly affects workers currently paid less than the state's minimum wage, such as those in certain service or training roles. The bill’s key mechanism is the removal of statutory exceptions that permitted lower pay rates, requiring all employers to pay the full minimum wage to all employees. It does not include new enforcement measures or exemptions beyond this core change. The bill’s purpose is explicitly stated as ending subminimum wage practices statewide.
