The proposed concurrent resolution aims to amend the North Dakota Constitution by establishing a new section in Article XI that sets the minimum wage at $9.25 per hour. This measure also includes provisions for an annual cost of living adjustment to the minimum wage, which will take effect starting January 1, 2027. The adjustments will be based on the percentage increase in the consumer price index for urban consumers, ensuring that the minimum wage keeps pace with inflation.

Additionally, the resolution mandates that the adjusted minimum wage be published by the Secretary of State on its website by October 15 each year, detailing the new rate that will be effective from January 1 of the following year. Importantly, the resolution stipulates that the minimum wage cannot be decreased, thereby providing a safeguard for workers' earnings. This measure will be presented to the qualified voters of North Dakota during the general election in 2026.
