AN ACT CONCERNING WAGES OF EMPLOYEES OF CANNABIS RETAILERS.
HB 6401 ensures that employees working at cannabis retail stores cannot be paid a subminimum wage. It amends statute 31-60 to exclude cannabis retailer employees from subminimum wage provisions, requiring employers to pay them at least the standard minimum fair wage established in statute 31-58. This directly affects workers in the state's legal cannabis retail industry. The bill makes no changes to the existing minimum wage rate but mandates that cannabis retailers comply with the standard minimum wage for all their employees.
