Question 2

Minimum wage. Vote Yes

Shall the Nevada Constitution be amended, effective July 1, 2024, to: (1) establish the State’s minimum wage that employers must pay to certain employees at a rate of $12 per hour worked, subject to any applicable increases above that $12 rate provided by federal law or enacted by the Nevada Legislature; (2) remove the existing provisions setting different rates for the minimum wage based on whether the employer offers certain health benefits to such employees; and (3) remove the existing provisions for adjusting the minimum wage based on applicable increases in the cost of living?

Question 2 raises the minimum wage for all Nevadans from $10.50 to $12 and eliminates exceptions that allow some employers to pay less than minimum wage in certain circumstances. It also provides predictability for employers by setting the minimum wage to a fixed dollar amount without adjustments for cost of living or other external factors (except for the federal minimum wage).

While costs for employers may increase slightly, this amendment brings the benefits of both stability and predictability to workers and employers alike.

We encourage Nevadans to vote “Yes” on question 2.
