Arizona HB2295 proposes a phased increase in the state's minimum wage, culminating in a $18 hourly rate by 2027.

HB2295 amends the minimum wage provisions in Arizona, setting a new schedule for wage increases. Starting from January 1, 2017, the minimum wage will incrementally rise to $10 per hour, then to $10.50 in 2018, $11 in 2019, and $12 in 2020. By 2027, the minimum wage will reach $18 per hour. After 2027, the minimum wage will adjust annually based on the cost of living, calculated using the U.S. Department of Labor's consumer price index. Employers may pay tipped employees a lower wage, provided it totals at least the minimum wage when tips are included.
