13         Amendment (with title amendment) 
14         On page 86, between lines 8 and 9, of the bill
15  
16  insert:  
17         Section 35.  No county, municipality, or any other
18  political subdivision of the state may, whether by ordinance,
19  resolution, referendum, initiative, or as a condition of
20  bidding or contracting, or by any other means, require a
21  private employer to pay any employee a minimum wage higher
22  than that required by federal law. If it is determined by the
23  officer or agency responsible or distributing federal funds to
24  the state, or any political subdivision, agency, or
25  instrumentality of the state, that compliance with this
26  section will cause denial of these federal funds or would
27  otherwise be inconsistent with the federal requirements
28  pertaining to such funds, this section shall not apply, but
29  only to the extent necessary to prevent denial of the federal
30  funds or to eliminate the inconsistency with federal
31  requirements.
