SECTION 1. Senate Bill No. 1772, Senate Draft 1, House Draft 2, Conference Draft 1, is amended by deleting its contents and replacing it with new language, to read as follows:
"SECTION 1. Section 387-2, Hawaii Revised Statutes, is amended to read as follows:
"§387-2 Minimum wages. Except as provided in section 387-9 and this section, every employer shall pay to each employee employed by the employer wages at the rate of not less than:
(1) $5.25 per hour beginning January 1, 1993;
(2) $5.75 per hour beginning January 1, 2002; and
(3) $6.25 per hour beginning January 1, 2003.
The hourly wage of a tipped employee may be deemed to be increased on account of tips if the employee is paid not less
than 25 cents below the applicable minimum wage by the employee's employer and the combined amount the employee receives from the employee's employer and in tips is at least 50 cents more than the applicable minimum wage.
Effective January 1, 2006, the hourly wage of a tipped employee may be deemed to be increased on account of tips if the employee is paid not less than 25 cents below the applicable minimum wage by the employee's employer plus an amount equal to any increase in the minimum wage as of January 1, 2006, and the combined amount the employee receives from the employee's employer and in tips is at least 50 cents more than the applicable minimum wage."
SECTION 2. New statutory material is underscored.
SECTION 3. This Act shall take effect upon its approval."
