  • Michigan House GOP left session with a demand for votes to change paid sick leave and minimum wage laws. Democrats adjourned without taking them up.

The Michigan House of Representatives experienced significant disruption when Republican members staged a walkout in protest during the final days of the legislative session.

GOP members argued that these bills were being rushed through without adequate debate or public input. The protest led to a temporary halt in proceedings, with Democrats eventually passing the bills in the absence of the Republican members. This event underscores the deep partisan divide in Michigan's legislature as it concludes its lame-duck session.
