An Act to establish a hospital and community health center worker minimum wage

This bill establishes a new minimum wage requirement specifically for workers at hospitals and community health centers in Massachusetts. It mandates that these facilities pay their employees at least 150% of the state's standard minimum hourly wage. The law covers a wide range of staff, including doctors, nurses, maintenance workers, and clerical employees, while explicitly excluding long-term care and rehabilitation facilities. To enforce this rule, the state's health department must create regulations within 180 days of the bill passing, ensuring compliance for all covered hospitals and health centers.
