The 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 amendments introduce a detailed categorization of offenses, specifying the class of the felony and the maximum penalties based on the value involved in the violations. For instance, violations with intent to defraud regarding wage payments are classified from public trust G to B, depending on the monetary value, with thresholds 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 subsequent offenses. Importantly, the enactment of this amendatory act is contingent upon the passage of Senate Bill No. 6 from the 103rd Legislature.
