The Michigan House OK'd bills retaining the tipped wage for restaurant workers and limiting the reach of paid sick leave laws taking effect Feb. 21.

The bill affecting restaurant servers and others who receive tips now heads to the Michigan Senate for consideration.

The Michigan Senate gave its leadership the power Wednesday to sue over nine bills that passed the state Legislature last session but never made it to the governor.

The Michigan House passed legislation to change the state's paid sick leave and minimum wage laws before court-ordered changes take effect next month.
