Bill Summary

A bill to amend 2018 PA 337, entitled "Improved workforce opportunity wage act," by amending section 4 (MCL 408.934), as amended by 2018 PA 368; and to repeal acts and parts of acts.

AI Summary

This bill amends the Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act of 2018 by modifying the minimum hourly wage rate in Michigan. It gradually increases the minimum wage from $9.65 in 2021 to $15.00 by 2026, and thereafter adjusts the minimum wage annually based on changes in the consumer price index. Additionally, the bill repeals a section of the 2018 act that allowed for the suspension of minimum wage increases if the state's unemployment rate exceeded 8.5%. The key provisions of this bill are aimed at gradually raising the minimum wage in Michigan over the next several years.
