HB 6218 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Labor: other; limitations on a local government's ability to regulate certain labor practices, standards, or conditions; modify. Amends secs. 5, 9 & 15 of 2015 PA 105 (MCL 123.1385 et seq.) & repeals secs. 6, 7, 10, 11 & 12 of 2015 PA 105 (MCL 123.1386 et seq.).

This bill modifies Michigan's Local Government Labor Regulatory Limitation Act to restrict local governments from passing rules that force employers to pay wages higher than the state minimum, unless those wages are already required by federal law or specific exceptions apply. The law explicitly prevents cities and counties from creating ordinances that mandate higher pay for private businesses, though it allows for higher wages in cases involving prevailing wage requirements, project labor agreements, or when the employer receives local funding or contracts. Additionally, the bill removes local government authority to regulate employer-controlled hours and scheduling for employees, while still permitting limits on business operating hours. The legislation also repeals several previous sections of the act that allowed localities to set their own labor standards, effectively narrowing the scope of rules municipalities can enforce on private employers.
