Kansas panel backs tying min wage to federal rate
The Commerce and Labor Committee endorsed a bill to raise Kansas minimum wage to 7.25 by Jan 10 2010 and align with future federal increases. The proposal would let the labor secretary set the state rate to stay in step with federal changes, affecting about 20 000 workers. The panel sent the bill to the House for debate as the smoking ban bill skims along the sidelines. The smoking ban was tabled by the House panel awaiting more information, with ultimate passage unlikely before adjournment. Senator David Wysong called the measure a statewide health issue and noted growing momentum on smoking regulation.
