Relating to: a state minimum wage, allowing the enactment of local minimum wage ordinances, and granting rule-making authority. (FE)

This bill establishes a state minimum wage of $15 per hour while allowing local governments to enact their own minimum wage ordinances. It creates a rule-making authority for the state department to set lower minimum wages for specific groups including agricultural workers, camp counselors, and students, and to exempt certain casual employment situations. The bill also requires annual adjustments to the minimum wage based on the consumer price index, with automatic increases unless inflation shows no growth. Additionally, it prohibits the state from setting different minimum wages for men and women.
