This bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating Section 14b to include specific felonies related to the payment of wages and fringe benefits, as well as violations of the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) regulations. The bill enumerates various offenses, categorizing them by severity and specifying the maximum penalties based on the value involved in the fraudulent activities. For instance, violations of wage payment laws with intent to defraud are classified into different categories depending on the monetary value, ranging from less than $1,000 to $100,000 or more.

Additionally, the bill addresses MIOSHA violations that result in employee death, categorizing them as serious offenses. It also includes provisions for the employment of children during restricted hours, establishing penalties for second and third or subsequent offenses. Importantly, the enactment of this amendatory act is contingent upon the passage of Senate Bill No. 6 from the 103rd Legislature.
