(WXMI) — A Court of Claims judge has struck down a GOP-led attempt to appeal efforts to reduce Michigan’s minimum wage and sick-leave laws.

This comes after a judge determined the state Legislature’s actions to amend those laws in 2018 were unconstitutional.

The laws were poised to raise the state’s minimum wage to $12 an hour by 2022 and scrap tipped wages at a later time.

A stay has been granted until Feb. 19, 2023.
