Impact analysis
If passed, low-wage workers could take home more, but businesses may pass higher labor costs on to customers through pricier goods and services.
Workers currently earning at or near the minimum wage would likely see bigger paychecks if it passes.
Small businesses and customers could feel the pinch if higher wages lead to higher prices or tighter staffing.
