To provide for increases in the Federal minimum wage, and for other purposes.

H.R. 7471, introduced by Representative Donald Norcross (D-NJ) in February 2026, proposes to increase the federal minimum wage and implement other employment-related provisions. The bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process, having been referred to committee for consideration. If enacted, this legislation would affect workers earning the federal minimum wage, potentially increasing their hourly earnings. The bill may also include additional labor and employment policy measures, though specific details about the proposed wage increase amount and other provisions are not available in the current bill information. As with all legislation at this stage, the bill would require passage by both chambers of Congress and presidential signature to become law.
