There are currently two bills in the California state legislature that propose to increase the minimum wage (AB 48 and SB 862). CAM is requesting information from the California museum field regarding the impact an increase in minimum wage will have on our institutions. CAM's Legislative Committee will use this information to formulate our position on these bills and represent the interests of the California museum field.

Please take a few minutes to complete our MINIMUM WAGE SURVEY to gather information about the impact a minimum wage increase will have on your museum, regional living wage initiatives, and any position your museum has taken regarding this issue.

Thank you for your participation in state legislative issues affecting museums. Please feel free to contact Celeste DeWald, Executive Director, at (831) 471-9970 or cam@calmuseums.org with any questions or comments you may have.
