Prohibiting Differentiated Minimum Wage for Small Businesses

This act aims to prevent states and municipalities from enacting minimum wage laws that treat employers differently based on their exclusion from the definition of "enterprise." This means local authorities cannot set special minimum wage rules for very small businesses that do not meet certain federal criteria. The goal is to ensure all employers are treated equally regarding minimum wage, regardless of their size.

Prohibits states and municipalities from enacting minimum wage laws that differentiate employers based on their size or status.
