Republicans seek to roll back voter-approved minimum wage increases
Missouri House Republicans are looking to alter the new minimum wage and sick leave law voters approved in November.
Proposition A, which passed in rural, suburban and urban parts of the state, raised the minimum wage from $12.30 an hour to $13.75 an hour this year. It will go up again to $15 an hour in 2026, with inflationary increases allowed after that.
Employers with gross annual receipts of at least $500,000 will also be required to provide earned sick leave to employees.
