Increase the state minimum wage
SB 234 would raise the state's minimum hourly wage rate for covered workers. It directly affects employees earning the current minimum wage and employers required to pay it. The bill amends specific sections of the Revised Code to establish a new, higher minimum wage rate and repeals the existing minimum wage provision (section 4111.07). This change would take effect on a specified date, increasing pay for eligible workers.
