Winter weather is hindering the passage of several bills.

Some pieces of Michigan legislation are put on hold due to the snowstorm which caused delays and prevented some staffers from getting bills returned to Lansing to be signed by the governor.

The house and senate approved about 300 bills before adjourning on December 14.

They include regulations on abortion clinics and a replacement for the emergency manager law that was repealed by voters in the November election.
