Council to Vote on Removing Minimum Wage Report Requirement
MCCouncilApr 6, 2026
The Montgomery County Council is expected to vote on Bill 1-26 on April 7, 2026, which would remove the requirement for the Office of Legislative Oversight to produce an annual report on the county minimum wage and local economy. The change is prompted by the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis discontinuing county-level data collection for four key indicators and data gaps caused by the 2025 federal government shutdown. Council President Fani-González is the lead sponsor; the joint ECON and HHS Committee recommends enactment.
