SB294 SD3 HD1 CD1 (Enacted Without Governor's Signature)

Proposed to raise the minimum wage to $8 by 2007.

HADA did not oppose “periodic” increases in the minimum wage, but HADA strongly opposed the proposal to use the GSP “deflator” method to establish an annual scheduled raise in the min. wage. After HADA’s testimony, the “deflator” language was removed.
