A bill to raise Nevada's minimum wage faces its first legislative hearing on Wednesday, April 10, 2019, a renewed effort that failed in the last session after a veto by the state's former Republican governor.

The legislation stipulates that would gradually rise from the current $7.25 and $8.25 an hour over a 5-year periods. (AP Photo/John Locher) **FILE**
