Plain-English Summary
This bill would increase the federal minimum wage, which is the lowest hourly rate employers are legally allowed to pay workers. The change would affect millions of low-wage workers across the country by raising their base pay, though it could also lead some businesses to adjust their hiring or staffing decisions. The bill is currently being reviewed by the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
