Its main sponsor is Silver (who for you out-of-staters, is the Dem leader who runs the assembly), and it's got like, what, 20 co- sponsors in the assembly. That's not nothing. And the point of the bill is to raise the minimum wage in line with inflation - how radical! The fact that it has no Senate co-sponsors sort of proves my point (but does an assembly bill ever have Senate co-sponsors? that's not the way it works in the U.S. Congress).
