Minimum wage workers in Florida will get a voter-approved pay boost this week, while about two dozen new laws kick in, including a regulatory framework for electronic cigarettes. After just over 60 percent of voters approved a constitutional amendment in November, the state’s minimum wage will go from 8 dollars and 65 cents ($8.65) an hour to 10 dollars on Friday. The rate for tipped workers is also moving up, from 5 dollars and 63 cents ($5.63) an hour to 6 dollars and 98 cents ($6.98) an hour. Under the constitutional amendment, the rate will increase incrementally each year until reaching 15 dollars an hour, and 11 dollars and 98 cents ($11.98) an hour for tipped workers, on September 30th, 2026.
