Original LAW Act

This bill would raise the federal minimum wage using a specific plan. Starting January 1, 2026, the minimum wage would increase to $10.59 per hour, then go up by $4 each year until 2030. After that, starting in 2031, the Department of Labor would adjust the minimum wage every seven years based on a formula that sets the wage high enough so someone working about 35 hours per week can earn 40% more than the poverty level for a family of four with two children. The minimum wage could not be lowered under this formula.
