The bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating Section 14b to include specific felonies related to violations of the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) and the employment of children. The amendments categorize offenses based on severity, with new classifications for MIOSHA violations that result in employee death, as well as various offenses related to the employment of children during prohibited hours. Notably, the bill introduces new classifications for subsequent offenses, enhancing the legal framework surrounding these violations.

Additionally, the bill removes certain existing legal references while adding new ones to clarify the categorization of offenses. For instance, it deletes references to specific subsections of the law regarding the employment of children and replaces them with updated classifications that reflect the seriousness of the offenses, particularly those involving death or great bodily harm. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of related legislation in the 103rd Legislature.
