Top Story
The Pennsylvania House passed HB 1500 by a 103-100 count that calls for the state’s minimum wage to rise to $11 by the start of 2024, $13 in 2025, and $15 by January 1, 2026.
The bill also calls for the minimum wage in the Keystone State to be tied to inflation thereafter. It also includes language to set the tipped wage in the state to 60 percent of the minimum wage.
The bill now heads to the Senate for consideration where state Sen. Dan Laughlin (R-Erie) already has a similar bill (SB 743) in motion. (PoliticsPA)
