An Act to Raise the MInimum Wage

Sponsored by Sponsored by: Rep. John Tutt le (D – Sanford)

What is the bill?

LD 447 would have raised the state’s minimum wage to $7.75 per hour starting on October 1, 2011, and to $8.00 per hour starting October 1, 2012. Increasing wages is a proven way to stimulate the economy by getting more money into the hands of the people who spend it. This bill failed in the House and Senate on a largely party line vote.
