(2) 50 cents per hour beginning January 1, 2015; [and]
(3) 75 cents per hour beginning January 1, 2016[,];

On September 30, 2021, and on September 30 of each year thereafter, the department shall calculate an adjusted minimum wage rate. The adjusted minimum wage rate shall be calculated to the nearest 5 cents using the Honolulu region consumer price index for urban wage earners and clerical workers (CPI-W) or a successor index, for the twelve months prior to September 1 of each year as calculated by the United States Department of Labor; provided that if in any year the adjustment based on the Honolulu region CPI-W would result in a lower minimum wage rate, the minimum wage rate shall not be decreased and the adjusted minimum wage rate shall remain at the most recently established minimum wage rate. Each adjusted minimum wage rate calculated under this subsection shall take effect on the following January 1."
