This bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by updating Section 14b of Chapter XVII to include specific felonies related to violations of the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) that result in employee death. The bill enumerates these felonies, categorizing them as Person H and Person G offenses, depending on whether they are first or subsequent offenses. The bill also introduces new legal language to clarify the application of these felonies, ensuring that they are explicitly recognized within the legal framework.

Additionally, the bill removes certain existing provisions related to the employment of children during specific hours, which were previously classified as Person G and Person E offenses. The amendments streamline the focus on MIOSHA violations causing employee death while eliminating outdated references to child employment regulations. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of Senate Bill No. 496 from the 103rd Legislature.
