Nebraska Lawmakers Give Failed Minimum Wage Bill Second Chance at Final Reading

  • State Senator Jane Raybould's minimum wage bill in Lincoln, Nebraska, failed last week but received a rare second chance at final reading.
  • The bill aims to replace voter-approved yearly cost-of-living increases from 2027 with fixed 1.75% raises and create a youth minimum wage of $13.50 with 1.5% hikes.
  • Senator Raybould may try to include her proposal within a different bill, but Speaker John Arch has stated he will not put the measure up for a vote during this session, despite past instances allowing reconsideration motions.
  • Under current legislation, the hourly wage will rise to $15 starting January 1, and Senator Danielle Conrad stated that the bill maintains the public's wishes.
  • The bill’s failure and Speaker Arch’s refusal to reschedule suggest the minimum wage increase will proceed unchanged this session, leaving possible amendments or debates for next year.
