A Cook County minimum wage proposal is expected to be the subject of a Tuesday committee hearing.

The proposal is on the Tuesday agenda for the Cook County Board's Legislation and Intergovernmental Relations Committee meeting, which starts at 1 p.m.

The legislation, proposed by Cook County Commissioner Larry Suffredin, is similar to the city of Chicago's recent minimum wage hike. If approved, Cook County's minimum wage would gradually go up to $13 an hour by 2019.
