1, 2020 and removes the annual adjustment for inflation of that exclusion amount.

hourly wage then in effect must be increased by the increase, if any, in the cost of living. 
The increase in the cost of living must be measured by the percentage increase, if any, as 
of August of the previous year over the level as of August of the year preceding that year 
in the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers, CPI-W, for 
the Northeast Region, or its successor index, as published by the United States 
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics or its successor agency, with the amount 
of the minimum wage increase rounded to the nearest multiple of 5¢.  If the highest 
federal minimum wage is increased in excess of the minimum wage in effect under this 
section, the minimum wage under this section is increased to the same amount, effective 
on the same date as the increase in the federal minimum wage, and must be increased in 
accordance with this section thereafter.
SUMMARY
This bill sets the minimum wage at $10.00 per hour and removes the provision that 
requires the minimum wage to be increased annually by the increase, if any, in the cost of 
living.

Fiscal Note 
Potential current biennium savings - All funds 
Fiscal Detail and Notes 
Current law requires the $11.00 per hour minimum wage to increase to $12.00 per hour on January 1, 2020 and by the 
CPI annually beginning on January 1, 2021. This bill repeals those provisions and lowers the minimum wage to 
$10.00 per hour. This reduction in the minimum wage and elimination of the annual cost-of-living increases may 
result in savings to the State and municipalities beginning in fiscal year 2019-20, depending on the wages currently in 
place and decisions on future wages when increases are no longer required by law.
