The bill amends the Youth Employment Standards Act of 1978 by updating definitions and clarifying the roles of various parties involved in the employment of minors. It redefines "employer" to include the state and its political subdivisions, as well as their agencies and agents. Additionally, the term "issuing officer" is expanded to specify that it includes the chief administrator of educational institutions or authorized representatives, and it also recognizes a minor's parent or legal guardian as an issuing officer if the minor is being educated under a specific section of the revised school code.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the definition of "rule" to align with the administrative procedures act of 1969, ensuring that the language is consistent with current legal standards. The changes aim to enhance clarity and ensure that the definitions used in the act are comprehensive and up-to-date, thereby improving the regulatory framework surrounding youth employment in Michigan.
