Michigan 's minimum wage and paid sick time policies set to take effect in February .

Legislation introduced to address the changes would put minimum wage at $ 12 an hour instead of $ 12.48 an hour.

The legislation would also preserve the tipped minimum wage in Michigan .

The bills were referred to the House Regulatory Reform Committee where they await a hearing.

Incoming House Speaker Matt Hall , R-Richland Township, said last week the issue "is the biggest thing in the state right now to face in lame duck."
