flag Nebraska lawmakers passed a bill to reduce minimum wage increases, replacing inflation-linked raises with fixed annual increases and lowering the youth wage.

flag Nebraska lawmakers passed LB258, rolling back parts of a 2022 voter-approved minimum wage increase, replacing inflation-based raises with a fixed 1.75% annual increase and lowering the youth minimum wage to $13.50 for workers aged 14–15, with future increases set at 1.5% every five years starting in 2030. flag The bill passed 33-16, advancing after a previous failure, and is expected to be signed by Governor Jim Pillen, taking effect in mid-July. flag Supporters say it offers business stability, while critics argue it undermines voter intent and slows wage growth.
