This bill amends the state minimum hourly wage in Iowa, increasing it to $13.50 effective July 1, 2025. The previous minimum wage of $6.20, which was set to rise to $7.25 in January 2008, is deleted from the law. The bill also updates the reference date for the federal Fair Labor Standards Act from January 1, 2007, to July 1, 2025, ensuring that employers must pay their employees the greater of the state minimum wage or the current federal minimum wage.

Additionally, the bill removes a provision that allowed a different minimum wage for employees who have been employed for less than 90 days. Under the new law, all employees will earn the state minimum hourly wage of $13.50, regardless of their duration of employment. This change aims to provide a more equitable wage structure for all workers in Iowa.
