flag Florida lawmakers passed a bill allowing some trainees to be paid as low as $7.25/hour for up to eight months.

flag Florida lawmakers advanced a bill allowing certain workers in internships, apprenticeships, or training programs to earn less than the state’s $15 minimum wage, potentially as low as $7.25, for up to eight months. flag The proposal, backed by Republicans and opposed by Democrats, aims to expand job training opportunities but raises concerns about worker exploitation and lack of enforcement. flag The bill passed a subcommittee 11-6 and includes provisions to prevent coercion, though it lacks strong safeguards. flag It would apply to those 18 and older for up to 252 days or minors for 126 days. flag The measure is part of a broader Republican effort to limit minimum wage increases.
