LEGISLATIVE ROUNDUP
2000
Overview
The measure (SB300) sponsored by Sen. Phil Maloof, D-Albuquerque, would increase the state minimum wage from $4.25 to $6.15 over three years. It would allow a 90-day \"training wage\" of 85 percent of the minimum wage for employees under the age of 20. Businesses that are not engaged in interstate commerce do not have to pay the federal minimum wage of $5.15 an hour, Maloof said. Those employers are bound by the state minimum wage, he said. \"A ban on an abortion procedure that is not performed, an attempt to prohibit same-sex marriage which has never been available in New Mexico, appropriations of tobacco-settlement money for everything except teen tobacco prevention and cessation, a budget already promised to be vetoed by the governor -- yes, I'd say it's been a very productive 30-day legislative session.\" -- Linda Siegle, lobbyist for several progressive causes.
