Illinois Gov. signs bill raising minimum wage to $15
Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) signed a bill into law Tuesday to raise the state's minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2025.
Pritzker ousted former-Gov. Bruce Rauner (R) in November and campaigned on raising the minimum wage.
The state's minimum wage is currently $8.25 an hour. It will rise to $9.25 an hour on Jan. 1, 2020 then to $10 an hour that July. After that the minimum wage will increase by $1 each year until 2025.
Pritzker indicated he would sign the bill in a statement Thursday, saying “After nearly a decade of delay, I applaud the House and Senate for passing a living wage with the fierce urgency this moment requires.”
