The measure, known as Question 2, will amend Nevada's minimum wage laws, allowing the minimum wage to increase and stop the existing annual adjustments determined by inflation. All workers will now receive $12 per hour, regardless of health benefits, starting in July 2024.
The previously existing conditions allowed $11 per hour for employees with health benefits and $12 per hour for employees without.
