Introduced
by
To make it unlawful to employ a worker who is less than 18 years old for less than $5.15 an hour, rather than the $7.15 per hour mandated for older workers beginning Jan. 1, 2007. The bill also creates a $5.15 "training wage" exception to that higher minimum wage mandate for 18 and 19-year-olds during their first 90 days on the job. Under current law the minimum "training wage" is $4.25.
Referred to the Committee on Government Operations and Reform
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that would not increase the current lower "training wage," and would establish that employers must pay workers who are less than 18 years old 85 percent of the government-mandated minimum wage they must pay to workers age 18 and above.
The substitute passed by voice vote
