RELATING TO THE MINIMUM WAGE.
HB 1533 repeals scheduled minimum wage and tip credit increases that would have taken effect on January 1, 2028. This bill directly affects low-wage workers who would have received higher pay under the previous schedule, as well as employers who would have been required to pay the increased rates. The key provision removes these specific future increases from law, maintaining current wage levels without new adjustments. The bill does not create new wage standards but cancels planned changes set for 2028.
