2020 House Bill 5867

Impose higher minimum wage mandate on state corporate subsidy beneficiaries

Introduced in the House

June 18, 2020

Introduced by Rep. Abdullah Hammoud (D-15)

To mandate that starting Oct. 1, companies and developers chosen to receive selective state “economic development” subsidies, loans and grants must pay all employees at least $15 per hour. This would not apply for subsidies whose value is less than $1 million for a beneficiary who employs fewer than 50 people.

Referred to the Committee on Commerce and Tourism
