Both chambers of the General Assembly cast their final votes on the legislation Tuesday, sending the bill to Gov. Dan McKee's desk to be signed. The proposed law creates a stepped schedule, gradually raising the minimum wage by about $1 per year until it reaches $15 per hour in 2025. The current state minimum wage sits at $11.50 per hour, after it was raised last October. Gov. Dan McKee is set to ceremonially sign the bill into law Thursday morning. Subscribe
