Connecticut's Senate Bill 221 seeks to gradually raise tipped worker wages to align with state minimum wage by 2027.

Connecticut's Senate Bill 221 aims to gradually raise the hourly rate for tipped workers to meet the state's minimum wage of $15.69 per hour by 2027. The bill, supported by local unions and labor groups, aims to address the wage disparity in the restaurant industry. However, restaurant owners and the Connecticut Restaurant Association argue that increased payroll could lead to more expensive menu items and potential layoffs. A public hearing has been held to discuss the proposed legislation.
