Living Wage For All Act
To place the Federal minimum wage on a durable path toward a living wage aligned with the national median wage, to require large, highly profitable corporations to lead the transition, to end all subminimum wages, and for other purposes.
This bill aims to gradually raise the federal minimum wage to a living wage, which is aligned with the national median wage. It seeks to eliminate all subminimum wages and mandates that large, profitable corporations take the lead in this transition. If enacted, this bill would significantly benefit millions of low-wage workers, particularly in industries where subminimum wages are currently in place, ensuring they receive a fair wage that meets their basic living needs.
The bill's impact would be most felt by low-wage workers across various sectors, especially those currently earning subminimum wages, such as tipped employees and workers in certain industries. Over time, the increased minimum wage would also benefit small businesses by potentially boosting consumer spending, as workers have more disposable income.
HB8555 was introduced on April 28, 2026, and has been referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. It is currently in its initial stage, awaiting further legislative action and committee review.
