Current Florida law dictates that the minimum wage in Florida is $1 far more than Federal Minimum wage($5.15). Legislators are at the moment trying to raise the Federal minimum wage from $five.15 to $7.25 more than then next two years. If this happens the Florida minimum wage would improve to the federal limit, unless the Florda rate(adjusted for inflation) is greater.   Quick story:   FL is presently $6.15 and is adjusted each September.   Extended story:   The federal wage increase could result in some adjustments in the coming months and the minimum wage law in Florida might want to be rewritten.   Right here is the actual law: http://www.floridajobs.org/resources/Mim%20Wage%20Const%20Language.doc

Florida?s minimum wage was created in a constitutional amendment approved by voters on November 2, 2004, and covers all employees in the state covered by the federal minimum wage.

The constitution also requires the adjusted minimum wage to be published.
