MI paid medical leave amended version back in play

On Friday, July 29, the Michigan Court of Claims issued a stay of its July 19 decision reinstating the ballot initiative regarding the state’s paid medical leave (and minimum wage) law. The stay is in place until February 19, 2023. This means that the adopted and amended version, as opposed to the original version of the law, is back in place for now.

Judge Shapiro rejected the request for a stay pending appeal, stating that any further stays would have to be granted by the Michigan Court of Appeals or Michigan Supreme Court. A request for a stay until the case is fully decided is expected, but as of this writing had not yet been filed with the appellate court.

The case is Mothering Justice v. Nessel.
