Dossier Legislative introduced 14-jul-2026
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

Living Wage For All Act

Key claim: The Living Wage For All Act (S4981, 119th Congress) was read twice and referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.

Abstract

(S4981 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-14): Read twice and referred to the Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions.

Why this matters

A federal ‘living wage’ proposal would raise the wage floor above the current FLSA minimum, changing baseline compensation obligations for employers and expected take-home for low-wage workers. As introduced-only legislation sitting in Senate HELP, it signals policy direction without immediate legal effect, and its scope, indexing method, and coverage remain to be defined as the bill text becomes available.
