Living Wage Now Act

The Living Wage Now Act raises the federal minimum wage to $15 per hour for most covered workers. It amends the Fair Labor Standards Act to replace the current minimum wage rate with $15, effective on the first day of the third month following the bill's enactment. This change directly affects millions of hourly workers in the U.S. who are covered by federal minimum wage laws. The bill does not include exceptions for small businesses or tipped workers, as the amendment applies broadly to the existing FLSA framework.
