A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT TO EXTEND THE TIME BY WHICH THE MINIMUM WAGE MAY BE RAISED.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
Section 1.  G.S. 95-25.3(a) reads as rewritten:
	"(a) Every employer shall pay to each employee who in any work week performs any work, wages of at least two dollars and seventy-five cents ($2.75) per hour effective July 1, 1979, two dollars and ninety cents ($2.90) per hour effective July 1, 1980, three dollars and ten cents ($3.10) per hour effective January 1, 1982 and three dollars and thirty-five cents ($3.35) per hour effective January 1, 1983 except as authorized below. If before June 1, 1991, the minimum wage set forth in the Fair Labor Standards Act is increased above three dollars and thirty-five cents ($3.35) per hour, the minimum wage required under this section shall increase by the same amount, but shall not increase above four dollars ($4.00) per hour, effective the same date the increase under the Fair Labor Standards Act is effective."
Sec. 2.  This act is effective upon ratification.
