A bill to amend 2018 PA 338, entitled “Earned sick time act,” by amending sections 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, and 12 (MCL 408.962, 408.963, 408.964, 408.965, 408.966, 408.967, 408.968, 408.970, 408.971, and 408.972).

Official record

Mackinac Center Analysis

The bill amends the Earned Sick Time Act ordered by the Supreme Court to take effect early in 2025 by making changes suggested by small business owners while allowing for more generous policies and collective bargaining agreements. This is necessary to ward off a MI Supreme Court ruling that struck down the legislative tactic of "adopt and amend" and implemented a proposed ballot initiative that never went before the voters.
