HB 84 would set the minimum wage at $15.00 per hour starting January 1, 2026, instead of higher scheduled increases. It directly affects low-wage workers and businesses that pay the minimum wage or use tip credits by stopping future wage hikes and repealing existing tip credit provisions after that date. The bill modifies the state's minimum wage schedule to cap increases at $15.00 per hour, reversing planned higher rates and eliminating tip credit adjustments effective January 1, 2026.

HB 524 caps the state's minimum wage at $15 per hour, preventing future increases above this level. It directly affects low-wage workers and employers subject to minimum wage laws, including those in the hospitality industry relying on tip credits. The bill adjusts the schedule for raising the tip credit (how tips count toward meeting minimum wage requirements), changing when employers can reduce their wage obligation based on tips. This legislation freezes the minimum wage floor at $15 and modifies the timeline for tip credit adjustments, with no further increases planned under this bill.
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.
Beginning 1/1/2026, increases the tip credit to be twenty per cent of the minimum wage and requires the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations to annually calculate an adjusted tip credit amount.
