PA House Passes Minimum Wage, Paid
Family Leave Bills
Justin Sweitzer, City & State Pennsylvania
March 27, 2026
With budget hearings now in the rearview mirror, lawmakers in the Pennsylvania House closed out March by voting on a series of high-profile bills addressing everything from data centers and marriage equality to the minimum wage and paid family and medical leave. Pennsylvania House lawmakers passed a major budget priority of Gov. Josh Shapiro, approving a bill that would raise the state’s minimum wage to $15 by 2029. The bill, House Bill 2189, is sponsored by Democratic state Rep. Jason Dawkins and passed by a vote of 104-95. If signed into law, the bill would phase in increases to Pennsylvania’s minimum wage, which hasn’t been increased since 2009. Another high-profile bill passed by House lawmakers was House Bill 200, legislation that would create a paid family and medical leave program in Pennsylvania. Under the legislation, employers in the state would be required to offer paid leave benefits to eligible employees, with employers required to provide partial wage replacement for a maximum of 12 weeks to qualifying employees.

Did you know........
Small businesses represent the largest segment by number of most local chamber membership rolls. Results in the research study by The Shapiro Group, Inc. and Market Street indicate the impact of local chamber membership on small businesses is very powerful. If a consumer knows a small business is a member of its local chamber, the business enjoys a 44 percent increase in its consumer favorability rating, a 51 percent increase in consumer awareness, a 57 percent increase in its local reputation and a 63 percent increase in the likelihood that consumers will patronize the business in the future.
Research indicates that chamber membership stimulates business-to-business commerce in the local community. Other businesses in town are more likely to do business with you and your company if you are a member of the local chamber. Because a major part of a small business typically comes from business-to-business services, it is essential to maintain a positive standing within the local business community.
