HB 336
AN ACT relating to the establishment of minimum wages by local governments.
In Plain Language
This bill would let local governments set their own minimum wage requirements that are higher than the state minimum wage for businesses in their area. Right now, only the state can set the minimum wage. The change would apply to employers operating within each local government's jurisdiction.
Official summary
Amend KRS 65.016 and 337.275 to allow a local government to adopt and enforce an ordinance that requires a minimum wage at a rate higher than that found in KRS 337.275 for employers located within that government's jurisdiction.
