The Kentucky House of Representatives approved a bill to raise the state's minimum wage from $5.15 to $7.25 per hour over the next two years.
The bill was passed 89-10 and then sent to the Senate consideration.
Under the bill, the state minimum wage will rise to $5.85 per hour this year, followed by an increase to $6.55 per hour beginning July 1, 2008 and $7.25 per hour in 2009.
Kentucky's minimum wage hasn't increased for 10 years.
