Enacted by the 2016 Oregon Legislature, Senate Bill 1532 establishes a series of annual minimum wage rate increases beginning July 1, 2016 through July 1, 2022. Beginning July 1, 2023, the minimum wage rate will be indexed to inflation based on the Consumer Price Index (CPI), a figure published by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics.
In addition to a new standard minimum wage rate, the bill sets out a separate rate which will apply to employers located in the urban growth boundary of a metropolitan service district. (Currently, only the Portland metropolitan area has an urban growth boundary.) Finally, a third rate will apply within certain “nonurban” counties named in the bill:
| Date | Standard | Portland Metro | Nonurban Counties |
| January 1, 2016 | $9.25 | $9.25 | $9.25 |
| July 1, 2016 | $9.75 | $9.75 | $9.50 |
| July 1, 2017 | $10.25 | $11.25 | $10.00 |
| July 1, 2018 | $10.75 | $12.00 | $10.50 |
| July 1, 2019 | $11.25 | $12.50 | $11.00 |
| July 1, 2020 | $12.00 | $13.25 | $11.50 |
| July 1, 2021 | $12.75 | $14.00 | $12.00 |
| July 1, 2022 | $13.50 | $14.75 | $12.50 |
| July 1, 2023 | Adjusted annually based on the increase, if any, to the US City average Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers | $1.25 over the standard minimum wage | $1 less than the standard minimum wage |
