ARIZ. (KGUN) — With a new year comes new laws and regulations in states and cities across the country. Nearly half of all U.S. states will increase their minimum wages in 2023 including Arizona.
The new minimum wage in Arizona will increase from $12.80 per hour to $13.85.
Some cities in Arizona are raising their minimum wages faster than the state. Flagstaff’s minimum wage will be $16.80 per hour.
The history of the Arizona minimum wage uptick that we have seen each year is as follows:
January 1, 2019 - $11.00
January 1, 2020 - $12.00
January 1, 2021 - $12.15
January 1, 2022 - $12.80
January 1, 2023 - $13.85
Plus, a new Arizona law on sealing criminal records may help some renters, but there are limitations. This law is the third effort by Arizona to give people with criminal records a second chance.
According to the Arizona State Legislature:
As of December 31, 2022, a person who is arrested, convicted or sentenced before, on or after December 31, 2022, may petition the court to have their criminal case record sealed. If the court grants the petition under A.R.S. § 13-911, the petitioner would be allowed to state on employment, housing, and financial aid or loan applications that they have never been arrested for, charged with or convicted of the crime that is the subject of the arrest or conviction. The petitioner must apply to seal their records in each court in which they have been convicted.
