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.

The move was a key step, but not the final step, toward the state Legislature intervening in a Michigan Supreme Court decision.

The Michigan Senate passed a bill to increase the tipped minimum wage but not eliminate it entirely as ordered by the Michigan Supreme Court.

New Mexicans earning minimum wage could soon see a much bigger paycheck if one lawmaker’s proposal passes. Lawmakers are presenting a bill that would raise the wage by five dollars, making minimum wage in the state $17 an hour.

The negotiations at the state Capitol were ongoing Wednesday, nine days before a Michigan Supreme Court-ordered minimum wage hike takes effect.
