An act to amend 2018 PA 337, entitled “An initiation of legislation to enact the Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act which would fix minimum wages for employees within this state; prohibit wage discrimination; provide for a wage deviation board; provide for the administration and enforcement of the act; prescribe penalties for the violation of the act; and supersede certain acts and parts of acts including 2014 PA 138,” by amending sections 2, 4, 4d, 9, and 10 (MCL 408.932, 408.934, 408.934d, 408.939, and 408.940).
This is the Senate version of how to fix the tipped minimum wage law set to take effect in early 2025. This approach would raise the minimum wage to $15 by 2027, adjust it annually for inflation, and set specific conditions for tipped employees, while outlining exemptions and compliance requirements. 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.
