To provide that employees of employers who provide certain increases in 
  health insurance coverage will not be covered by an increase in the 
                         Federal minimum wage.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. MINIMUM WAGE INCREASE AND INCREASE IN HEALTH INSURANCE 
              COVERAGE.

    If there is an increase in the minimum wage under section 6(a)(1) 
of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 (29 U.S.C. 206(a)(1)), such 
increase shall not apply to the minimum wage of an employee of an 
employer who, during the period in which the increase is to take 
effect, increases the employer's contribution to the cost of health 
insurance coverage for such employee in an amount equal to such 
increase if such employer had provided health insurance coverage for 
such employee before the date of such increase.
