 AN ACT to amend the labor law, in relation to establishing a training
 wage

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Section 652 of the labor law is amended by adding a new
 2 subdivision 7 to read as follows:
 3 7. Training wage. (a) A training wage equal to eighty-five percent of
 4 the state minimum wage or one hundred percent of the federal minimum
 5 wage, whichever is less, may be paid to a youth who has no prior job
 6 experience.
 7 (b) Any youth who receives a training wage pursuant to paragraph (a)
 8 of this subdivision and who did not work more than one hundred eighty
 9 days in the preceding calendar year, shall receive, at a minimum, an
 10 annual increase in wages equal to twenty-five percent of the difference
 11 between the training wage pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subdivision
 12 and the state minimum wage until such youth reaches the age of eighteen.
 13 (c) For the purpose of this subdivision, youth is defined as a person
 14 who has not yet reached the age of eighteen, and prior job experience is
 15 defined as employment where an employee would have been accounted for on
 16 an employer's payroll records. No youth will be paid a training wage for
 17 more than one hundred eighty days. Employers are limited to twenty
 18 percent of their workforce, or no more than six employees receiving a
 19 training wage at any one particular location. At no time will a youth
 20 receiving a training wage be used to displace an employee who is receiv-
 21 ing a wage equal to or greater than the state minimum wage.
 22 § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.
