Wage Bill Is Given Life
The Senate Labor Committee revived the $1.25 per hour minimum wage proposal and prepared it for more action. The plan originally set $1.25 for all workers except domestics and stock ranch employees, with rises to $1.40 then $1.60 in following years, while a House bill sought to keep $1.25 and exclude farm workers. The committee endorsed HB 156 amended to favor Senate floor action, as Sen. D. Roy Harrington moved the measure with Sen. David Ratliff voting no, and the package would also allow cities to grant credit for prior service for retirement and ease retirement qualifications.
