This bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating section 14b of chapter XVII, specifically addressing felonies related to violations of the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) and the employment of children. The bill introduces new legal language that clarifies the categorization of certain offenses, including MIOSHA violations that result in employee death, and specifies the penalties associated with these offenses. Notably, it adds a new classification for MIOSHA violations causing employee death and removes previous language that outlined similar offenses.

Additionally, the bill modifies the penalties for the employment of children during certain hours and in sexually abusive activities, establishing a clearer framework for enforcement. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of Senate Bill No. 49 from the 103rd Legislature, indicating a coordinated legislative effort to address these issues comprehensively.
