Senate Page, Isaac Chapman, asks House Civil Rights and Judiciary Committee Chair: Jamila Taylor, (D) 30th District, and Ranking Committee Member, Jim Walsh (R) 19th District, “…In my research, I learned that having a mandatory minimum wage can economically force businesses to avoid hiring those with disabilities or less experience. Do you think that if we removed minimum wage it would enable business owners to hire more diversely, and at a lower cost?”
The House Civil Rights & Judiciary Committee considers a wide variety of legal issues, including constitutional law; privacy rights; anti-discrimination measures; commercial law; torts; probate; guardianships; civil commitment; forensic mental health; firearms; common interest community issues involving liability and uniform laws; and eminent domain. The committee also considers issues relating to courts and judicial administration; and family law issues such as marriage, marriage dissolution, child support and adoption.
