MI Senate Regulatory Affairs Committee Hearing
The Michigan Senate Regulatory Affairs Committee is holding a hearing today on the earned sick time and tipped wages legislation that is set to go into effect next Friday.
Recently the House passed modification bills after neighbors protested against the Michigan Supreme Court ruling that will increase the minimum wage to $15 by 2030 and require businesses to provide 72 hours of earned sick time to their employees.
Protesting neighbors say this will negatively affect their tips and cause small businesses to close.
The House and the Senate will have to work together to agree on one bill in just 9 days.
