The D.C. Council on Monday voted 7–5 to partially repeal Initiative 82, a law aimed at gradually raising the tipped minimum wage to match the city’s standard minimum wage.

Under the newly passed amendment co-sponsored by councilmembers Christina Henderson and Charles Allen, the current base wage for tipped workers will stay put at $10 until July 2026. After that, it will slowly tick up every two years as a percentage of the regular minimum wage until it reaches 75 percent of the full minimum wage by 2034.
