Arizona HB2849 increases the minimum wage to $18 per hour by 2027 and adjusts it annually based on inflation.

Arizona HB2849, the "One Fair Wage Act," amends the state's minimum wage law. It sets the minimum wage at $18 per hour starting January 1, 2027. The wage will then increase annually on January 1, 2028, and each subsequent year, based on the consumer price index. If inflation is negative, the minimum wage will remain unchanged. Starting January 1, 2030, employers must pay the minimum wage regardless of employee tips. The act requires a three-fourths majority vote for enactment and ensures no conflict with federal law.
