Fiscal Detail and Notes
Prohibiting a municipality or other political subdivision of the State from enacting an ordinance regulating the minimum hourly wage that an employer must pay an employee may result in savings to State Government if, absent this legislation, the State would have been required to pay its employees that work in the affected municipality a higher wage than it would pay its other employees in the same job classification based on the salary schedules in place.
