SB 268 - WAGE CLAIM ASSIGNMENTS TO DEPT. OF LABOR Number 75 MR. DWIGHT PERKINS, representing the Department of Labor, came forward to present SB 268. MR. PERKINS said the bill would increase the authority of the department to pursue wage claims up to $7,500 (the recently enacted cap on small claims filings) and tie the department's limit to that of small claims court in the future. SENATOR PARNELL moved SB 268 out of committee with individual recommendations. Without objection, it was so ordered.
