The Tipped Minimum Wage Increase Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 amends the Minimum Wage Act Revision Act of 1992 to delay the next increase to the tipped minimum wage, which was set to take effect on July 1, 2025. Specifically, the bill modifies Section 4(f)(6) by striking the phrase "this section." and inserting "this section; provided further, that this paragraph shall not apply before October 1, 2025." This change effectively pauses the implementation of the tipped minimum wage increase until the new date.

The act is designed to take effect immediately upon approval by the Mayor or, if vetoed, upon the Council's override of that veto. It will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days, in accordance with the emergency provisions outlined in the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. The Council has also adopted the fiscal impact statement from the Budget Director as part of the legislative process.
