TITLE 4: ECONOMIC RESOURCES
DIVISION 9: LABOR
§ 9238. [Repealed.] Source: PL 8-21, § 7; amended by PL 9-50, § 3; PL 9-73, § 3; repealed by PL 11-22, § 5. Commission Comment: PL 11-22, § 5 repealed this section. PL 11-22 took effect July 10, 1998. According to PL 11-22, § 1: Section 1. Findings. The Legislature finds the issue of minimum wage in the Commonwealth is of utmost importance to the Commonwealth’s internal need to promote a healthy, orderly and prosperous economy for all its people. Towards that end it is in the best interest of the people of the Commonwealth to establish wage review committees for the Commonwealth. The Legislature finds that the current Wage and Salary Review Board (the “Board”) established under 4 CMC § 9238 has been ineffective. This Act has been specifically tailored to address the weakness of the former Board which it abolishes. Specifically, the committees differ from the Board in that they will be more broadly representative of the general public and, significantly, provide for a much greater federal participation in the Commonwealth wage review process. Further, establishment of special industry committees, the Governor may consult with the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division of the U.S. Department of Labor. The Legislature notes that the success of the wage review committees established hereby depends on active participation by the relevant federal parties.
