Preemption of Local Government Wage Mandates (Oppose – Preemption)

SB 1124 (Gruters) creates the "Wage Mandate Preemption Act," which revises prohibitions relating to political subdivisions, including municipalities. The bill prohibits a political subdivision from enacting a wage mandate on an employer in an amount greater than the state minimum wage. This bill does not apply to employees of the political subdivision or if federal law requires the payment of a minimum wage to persons working on projects funded by federal funds. (Hughes)
