A bill for an act increasing the state minimum hourly wage and providing for subsequent increases by the same percentage as the increase in federal social security benefits.

SF 101 increases Iowa's state minimum hourly wage to $15.00 for most workers starting July 1, 2025, and sets a separate $14.10 minimum for new employees during their first 90 days of employment. The bill automatically raises both wage rates annually on July 1 beginning in 2026, using the same percentage as federal Social Security cost-of-living adjustments. It ensures the minimum wage never decreases and applies to all employers covered by Iowa's wage laws.
