A 6852 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to minimum wage order increases

This bill requires New York State legislators to approve any new minimum wage order or modification to an existing order before it takes effect. It directly affects workers who would see wage changes delayed until legislative action, and businesses that would receive clearer timelines for potential cost impacts. Key provisions include mandating legislative authorization for wage increases, requiring the commissioner to analyze business costs using employment data, and updating processes for wage board recommendations and commissioner reviews. The bill shifts authority from the commissioner to the legislature for implementing minimum wage changes.
