An Act amending the act of January 17, 1968 (P.L.11, No.5), known as The Minimum Wage Act of 1968, further providing for minimum wages.
This bill, HB 2312, would automatically increase Pennsylvania's minimum wage starting December 1, 2026, and every December 1 thereafter. The adjustment would match the percentage increase applied to state officials' salaries under the Public Official Compensation Law, rather than setting a specific dollar amount. Employers across the state would be required to pay workers at least the adjusted minimum wage, with the Department of Labor and Industry overseeing compliance. The law takes effect 60 days after being signed into legislation.
