This bill changes South Dakota's minimum wage adjustment from happening every year to every two years, starting January 1, 2025. Instead of comparing the cost of living year-over-year, the state will now measure inflation over a two-year period before adjusting the wage. The minimum wage will still be rounded up to the nearest five cents and can never decrease.
