马里兰州立法者建议到2030年将州最低工资提高到每小时20美元, Maryland lawmakers have proposed raising the state’s minimum wage to $20 per hour by 2030 and making tips tax-free. 该法案还计划逐步取消国家目前为3.63美元的补发工资,因此,补发工资的工人可领取全额最低工资。 The bill also plans to phase out the state's tipped wage, currently at $3.63, so tipped workers earn the full minimum wage. 虽然63%的可能选民支持增加, 共和党人反对该法案, 称法案“抵达时死亡”。 While 63% of likely voters support the increase, Republicans oppose the bill, calling it "dead on arrival." 如果在2026年得到选民批准,该修正案将逐步提高最低工资,从目前每小时15美元提高到现在的每小时15美元。 If approved by voters in 2026, the amendment would raise the minimum wage gradually from the current $15 per hour.
