BILL NUMBER:S5914 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the labor law, in relation to authorizing the city of New York to implement a minimum wage SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends subdivision 1 of section 652 of the labor law, as amended by section 1 of part P of chapter 57 of the laws of 2013, is amend and a new subdivision 1-a is added that will allow the city of New York to implement a minimum wage for the city of New York which shall be no less than the minimum wage currently set for the state. Section 2 sets forth an effective date of one hundred and eighty days after it shall have become law. JUSTIFICATION: While the State of New York has increased its minimum wage, the city of New York should be allowed to set its own minimum wage at a rate higher than the current state law. The cost of living in the city of New York is significantly higher than many other regions throughout the state and the New York City Council should be empowered to legislate a higher minimum wage rate to address this increased cost of living if it chooses to do so.
