HB71 Alabama 2016 Session

Currently, Alabama does not have a state minimum wage law

This bill would establish a state minimum wage for Alabama equal to the federal minimum wage adjusted for any increase in the Consumer Price Index for Alabama as reported by the United States Department of Labor

This bill would provide that the Consumer Price Index data for the completed calendar year preceding the beginning month of a fiscal year would determine the percentage of the increase in the state minimum wage

This bill would require the Director of Finance to notify the Alabama Department of Labor in writing between October 1 and October 15 each year of the percentage to be used for the cost-of-living adjustment for the next calendar year

This bill would require the Alabama Department of Labor to post any change in the state minimum wage on its website
