Marryland’s minimum wage would rise to $15 over several years under a measure before state lawmakers.
Del. Jeffrey Waldstreicher, a Montgomery County Democrat, outlined the bill Tuesday before a House committee.
Maryland’s minimum wage is now set to reach $9.25 in July and increase to $10.10 in July of 2018. The bill would raise it a dollar each year after that, until it reaches $15 in July 2022.
