The initiative enabled the adoption of laws that could have wide-ranging effects on bar and restaurant workers by citizen-led petitions. <\/p>\n<p> SOCIAL SECURITY UPDATE: FIRST ROUND OF DIRECT PAYMENTS WORTH UP TO $4,555 ARRIVES IN SIX DAYS <\/p>\n<p> One measure would increase the state minimum wage to $13.03 an hour and tipped worker wages to $11.73 per hour in 2023, and the other dealt with accruing paid sick leave. However, the Republican-led Michigan legislature adopted both bills and then amended them to increase the minimum wage to $12.05 per hour by 2030. Mothering Justice and One Fair Wage are arguing Republicans violated the people&#8217;s decision when they employed the adopt-and-amend process by adopting the laws and then overturning them in the same session. <\/p>\n<p> In July 2022, the Michigan Court of Claims declared the adopt-and-amend process unconstitutional; however, before those changes went into effect, a lower court ruled that the action was allowed under the state constitution, affirming the legislature had the authority to amend both laws. A three-judge appellate court panel wrote the legislators&#8217; motives &#8220;in passing legislation are irrelevant.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p> CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM THE WASHINGTON EXAMINER <\/p>\n<p> &#8220;Courts are concerned with what the law states, i.e., what the words actually contained in the law state, and a constitutional law does not become unconstitutional because it was passed with a bad intent,&#8221; Judge Christopher Murray wrote. <\/p>\n<p>Because of that ruling, the amended law will increase workers&#8217; wages to $10.33 an hour starting next year, with tipped workers earning $3.93 an hour. If the Supreme Court sides with the original language of the law, workers would see an increase to over $13 an hour regardless of tips.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Michigan Supreme Court heard arguments Thursday to increase the state\u2019s minimum tipped wage.
