B 26-0114 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Pay Our Youth a Fair Summer Wage Amendment Act of 2025.

This bill would increase wages for participants in the District of Columbia's Summer Youth Employment Program. It raises the hourly rate for 14- and 15-year-olds from $6.25 to $10.00 and sets the rate for 16- to 24-year-olds at the District's minimum wage. The amendment updates the Youth Employment Act of 1979 to reflect these new wage rates, directly affecting young workers in the summer job program. The change aims to provide fairer compensation for youth contributions to the workforce.
