AN ACT EXEMPTING NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS FROM MINIMUM WAGE REQUIREMENTS.

HB 5785, introduced by Rep. Fishbein, proposes to amend Chapter 558 of state law to exempt nonprofit organizations from the state's minimum wage requirements. If passed, this would directly affect nonprofit employers and their employees by allowing nonprofits to pay wages below the state's minimum wage standard. The bill would change existing law to create this specific exemption, rather than altering the minimum wage itself for other employers. This is a proposed legislative change currently under review by the Labor and Public Employees committee.
