IF YOU CURRENTLY EARN THE STATE’S MINIMUM WAGE, YOU COULD BE IN FOR A RAISE. STATE REPRESENTATIVES MIGUEL GARCIA AND JOANNE FERRARY HAVE INTRODUCED HOUSE BILL 31. THE LEGISLATION INCREASES THE MINIMUM WAGE IN PHASES. FIRST, THE WAGE GOES UP A DOLLAR AN HOUR THIS YEAR, FOLLOWED BY ONE DOLLAR INCREASES IN JULY OF 2020 AND 2021, BRINGING THE RATE UP TO 12 DOLLARS AN HOUR.
AFTER THAT, WORKERS COULD SEE FURTHER INCREASES BASED ON COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENTS.
