Name of Organization: Raise the Wage AZ

The One Fair Wage Act raises the minimum wage by $1 over cost of living increases in 2025 and 2026 and leaves cost of living increases in place thereafter. For tipped employees, it raises the minimum wage employers must pay tipped employees regardless of tips employees earn. Currently, employers may count up to $3 per hour of a tipped employee's tips to offset the employer's minimum wage obligation. The Act gradually reduces the amount of the employer's offset due to tips until the employer is required to pay the full minimum wage and employees keep all of their tips on top of that wage. The Act expands coverage of the minimum wage, removing the small business exception. It explicitly exempts tribal entities as employers for purposes of the minimum wage law, and leaves in place the exemption for the state and federal governments. It makes clear that the state minimum wage applies regardless of the individual's age, status as a learner, apprentice, vocational trainee or other status wherein the individual provides labor, regardless of any benefit to the individual, but the state minimum wage continues to not apply to independent contractors. Defines terms; repeals old version of section 23-362.

Name of Organization: Raise the Wage AZ

The One Fair Wage Act expands the coverage of the current state minimum wage law. It gradually raises the minimum wage paid to tipped employees to be equal to that of other employees covered by state minimum wage law. Currently, tipped employees may be paid $3 per hour less than other covered employees. The Act will require them to be paid at the same rate as others by 2028. The Act also requires small businesses, including those exempt from paying the federal minimum wage, to pay the state minimum wage. The Act raises the state minimum wage to $18 per hour starting on January 1, 2025, and continues to increase the minimum wage based on inflation as measured by the consumer price index. The Act makes dear that the state minimum wage applies regardless of the individual earner's age, status as a learner, apprentice, vocational trainee or other status wherein the individual provides labor regardless of any benefit to the individual, but the state minimum wage does not apply to independent contractors. The Act also defines "individual," "tip," and "tipped employee."

This petition seeks to refer sections 1, 2, and 3 of 2022 Laws, Chapter 388 (HB 2853) to a vote of the people. These sections of HB 2853 would significantly expand eligibility for "Empowerment Scholarship Accounts" (ESAs) by changing the definition of "qualified student" to include all students eligible to enroll in an Arizona public school for kindergarten, grades one through twelve, or a preschool program for children with disabilities. These sections of HB 2853 include other provisions, including but not limited to allowing online students to qualify for an ESA with half the previous amount of instruction, and broadening and refining the list of items and services on which ESA funds can be spent.
