Summary

AI-generated summary, report an error

This bill would raise the federal minimum wage in yearly steps to $25 per hour. Employers with $1 billion or more in yearly revenue or 500 or more U.S. employees would reach $25 after five years, and other employers would reach it after twelve years. After that, the minimum wage would be adjusted each year to the higher of the prior year's rate or two-thirds of the national median hourly wage. The bill would phase out the lower minimum wages now allowed for tipped workers, newly hired workers under age 20, and workers with disabilities paid under special certificates, and it would stop new special certificates from being issued.
