The resolution proposes a measure to amend Arizona's minimum wage laws, which will be submitted to voters for approval. If passed, the minimum wage will be set at $18 per hour starting January 1, 2027, with annual increases based on the cost of living as measured by the consumer price index. The resolution also stipulates that beginning January 1, 2030, employers must pay the minimum wage to all employees, regardless of whether they receive tips or gratuities.
Additionally, the resolution includes provisions for severability, ensuring that if any part of the act is deemed invalid, the remaining sections will still be enforceable. It also clarifies that the statute will not conflict with federal law. The act is titled the "One Fair Wage Act" and will be presented to voters at the next general election, as mandated by the Arizona Constitution.
