 AN ACT to amend the labor law, in relation to the minimum wage

   THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section  1.  Subdivision 2 of section 652 of the labor law, as amended
 by chapter 38 of the laws of 1990, is amended to read as follows:
   2. Existing wage orders. The minimum wage  orders  in  effect  on  the
 effective date of this act shall remain in full force and effect, except
 as modified in accordance with the provisions of this article.
   Such  minimum  wage  orders  shall  be modified by the commissioner to
 increase all monetary amounts specified therein in the  same  proportion
 as  the  increase  in the hourly minimum wage as provided in subdivision
 one of this section, including the amounts  specified  in  such  minimum
 wage  orders  as  allowances  for  gratuities, and when furnished by the
 employer to its employees, for meals, lodging, apparel  and  other  such
 items,  services  and  facilities,  EXCEPT THAT THE HOURLY CASH WAGE FOR
 FOOD SERVICE WORKERS AND SERVICE EMPLOYEES WHO RECEIVE TIPS SHALL NOT BE
 LESS THAN THE CASH WAGE AS PROVIDED IN SUBDIVISION FOUR OF THIS  SECTION
 AND THE MAXIMUM CREDIT FOR TIPS IN MINIMUM WAGE ORDERS SHALL BE MODIFIED
 SO  THAT SUCH CREDIT, WHEN COMBINED WITH THIS CASH WAGE, IS EQUAL TO THE
 MINIMUM WAGE. All amounts so modified shall be rounded off to the  near-
 est  five cents. The modified orders shall be promulgated by the commis-
 sioner without a public hearing, and without reference to a wage  board,
 and  shall  become  effective on the effective date of such increases in
 the minimum wage except  as  otherwise  provided  in  this  subdivision,
 notwithstanding any other provision of this article.
 
  EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                       [ ] is old law to be omitted.
