Michigan HB4291 prohibits employers from basing wage rates on protected attributes of employees.

Michigan HB4291 amends the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act to prohibit employers from setting wage rates based on protected attributes or characteristics of employees. These include religion, race, color, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, height, weight, marital status, or any other attribute protected under the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act. The bill also repeals a section of the Improved Workforce Opportunity Wage Act, ensuring that wage rates are not reduced to comply with the new provisions.
