Living Wage Now Act
HR 505

Proposed in January 2023, the Living Wage Now Act (HR 505) would increase the federal minimum wage for regular employees from $7.25 an hour to $15 an hour.  This legislation does not have other cosponsors nor a companion bill in the Senate.  The bill would increase costs for employers and is subsequently on NSGA’s watchlist.
