In Support of a $15 Minimum Wage and Against the Youth Exemption in Maryland

Summary

On February 27, 2018, Laura Huizar testified before the Maryland Economic Matters Committee in support of HB 664, which would raise Maryland’s minimum wage to $15 by 2023. The Bill would also gradually eliminate the sub-minimum wage for tipped workers and eliminate exemptions that subject younger workers to a lower minimum wage, guaranteeing one fair wage for all workers regardless of occupation or age.
