Minimum Wage

Florida’s minimum wage will increase to $12 an hour on Sept. 30, as the state continues carrying out a constitutional amendment that eventually will lead to a $15 minimum wage.

A bill that would exempt minor-league baseball players such as those on the Fort Myers Mighty Mussels from the state’s voter-approved minimum wage was delivered Monday to Gov. Ron DeSantis. The proposal (SB 892) would incorporate into the state minimum-wage law a carve-out for minor-league baseball players that is in the federal Fair Labor Standards Act.

Panelists at a virtual meeting Friday discussed Amendment 2, which would raise Florida’s minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2026.
