This Law Firm Publication by Ogletree, Deakins, Nash, Smoak & Stewart, P.C. explains that the Michigan Court of Claims recently held, in Mothering Justice v. Nessel, that the "adopt-and-amend" strategy the Michigan Legislature used to enact an amended version of the Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act (2018 Public Act (PA) 368) (IWOWA) and the Paid Medical Leave Act (2018 PA 369) (PMLA) was unconstitutional. Consequently, the original (2018) voter-initiated versions of the IWOWA and PMLA are reinstated.
