AZ SB1234

Repeals the 1997 minimum wage law and amends the 2006 Proposition 202 minimum wage statute to redefine how wages are calculated.

Redefines "wage" to include the reasonable cost of board, lodging, or other facilities furnished by employers to employees, as determined by the Industrial Commission, except where excluded by collective bargaining agreements.

Adds new section 23-366 allowing the Industrial Commission to determine fair value of nonmonetary compensation for defined employee classes and geographic areas based on employer costs, employee values, or other appropriate measures.

Requires the commission's determinations on nonmonetary compensation value to be used instead of actual costs when calculating employee wages.

Requires passage by three-fourths affirmative vote of both houses of the legislature per Arizona Constitution Article IV, Part 1, Section 1.
