Republicans, numerous service industry workers and restaurant owners have warned that phasing out the subminimum wage for tipped workers will put jobs and businesses at risk.

The Regulatory Affairs Committee voted 6-4 to send the proposal to the full Senate, which could take up the measure later Thursday.

The Michigan Senate has approved a bill that would preserve the state’s tipped wage credit and increase the minimum wage.

The Michigan Senate on Thursday approved a bill that amends the timeline of the minimum wage increase ahead of the new law going into effect next week.

A little over a week before wages for tipped workers were set to increase, the Michigan Senate passed a bipartisan bill that would change the increase schedule. The legislation now heads to the House.
