House Bill No. by Representative Boyd aims to establish a state minimum wage in Louisiana, setting it at $10 per hour starting January 1, 2027, increasing to $12 per hour on January 1, 2029, and further to $14 per hour on January 1, 2031. The bill mandates that if the federal minimum wage exceeds the state minimum, the state wage will automatically adjust to match the federal rate. Additionally, the bill introduces civil remedies for employees who experience wage violations, allowing them to file lawsuits against employers in specific venues based on the employer's status and location.

The legislation also requires city, parish, and district clerks of court to maintain and submit monthly dockets of cases related to wage violations to Louisiana Works, which will compile an annual report detailing employers who have violated the law. Exceptions to the minimum wage provisions include student employees, tipped employees, and agricultural workers as defined by federal law. Louisiana Works is tasked with enforcing the new minimum wage regulations and can create necessary rules and regulations for implementation. The bill is set to take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated period for gubernatorial action.
