Illinois State Senator Jason Barickman is concerned about legislation that would increase the minimum wage to $15 an hour.
The bill passed Thursday in the Senate and Barickman said the wage increase will impact many businesses and organizations.
“Not just the for-profit entities, this will hit units of local government, our university community, non-profits and social service providers who are struggling locally and all around the state,” said Barickman.
The increase would be phased in over the next six years until it hits $15 an hour in 2025.
The bill now moves to the House for a vote.
