The Tipped Minimum Wage Increase Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 seeks to amend the Minimum Wage Act Revision Act of 1992 by pausing the scheduled increase to the tipped minimum wage that is set to take effect on July 1, 2025. Specifically, the bill modifies Section 4(f)(6) of the existing law by deleting the phrase "this section." and inserting a new provision that states, "this section; provided further that, this paragraph shall not apply before October 1, 2025." This change effectively delays the implementation of the tipped minimum wage increase until after the specified date.

The bill includes a fiscal impact statement, which has been adopted from the Budget Director, and outlines the financial implications of the proposed changes. It is designed as an emergency measure, meaning it will take effect upon approval by the Mayor or following a Council override of a potential veto, and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days as per the regulations governing emergency acts in the District of Columbia.
