Michigan law allows employers to pay tipped employees 38% of the minimum wage as long as they earn at least the standard minimum wage with tips included. Most end up earning far more than minimum wage, which is why recent surveys show that 83% of servers do not want the system to change.
根据这一决定, the tipped wage will be phased out and service workers will fall under the regular minimum wage system.

The legislature adopted the proposals and later amended them to lessen the impact. 这一行动, 现在叫做“采纳和修正”,” prevented the original proposals from appearing on the ballot. Those who gathered initial signatures filed a lawsuit and raised the legal question of whether a legislature can amend a voter-initiated statute that it adopted within the same two-year legislative term in which it was adopted.
