An Act Establishing a State Minimum Hourly Wage for Agricultural Workers

Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill creates a state minimum hourly wage for agricultural workers in Maine, starting at $14.65 per hour on January 1, 2026, and increasing annually with the cost of living thereafter. It requires agricultural employers to keep detailed records of hours worked and wages paid, and outlines remedies for employees and penalties for employers who violate these wage provisions. This would affect agricultural workers and their employers in Maine by establishing a specific minimum wage for this sector.
