RELATING TO THE MINIMUM WAGE.

HB 84 freezes the state's minimum wage at $15.00 per hour starting January 1, 2026, canceling planned future increases. It also repeals scheduled higher minimum wage rates and tip credit adjustments for tipped workers after that date. This directly affects low-wage workers and service industry employees who would have seen incremental pay raises under previous plans. The bill halts further wage growth without providing new funding or adjustments for inflation.
