Labor: hours and wages; improved workforce opportunity wage act 2018 PA 337; restore 2018 PA 368 amendments. Amends secs. 4, 4a, 4d, 10 & 15 of 2018 PA 337 (MCL 408.934 et seq.).

SB 991 restores previous amendments to Michigan's minimum wage law that were previously repealed, reinstating specific wage schedules and overtime rules. The bill sets a new timeline for minimum wage increases, starting at $10.56 in 2024 and reaching $12.05 by 2030, with an additional annual adjustment based on inflation. A key provision allows these wage increases to be delayed if the state's unemployment rate is 8.5% or higher for the preceding year. Additionally, the legislation clarifies overtime requirements for employees in fire protection, law enforcement, and healthcare settings, while maintaining existing exemptions for certain job categories like executives and agricultural workers.
