The 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. Additionally, it introduces new legal language to clarify the application of these felonies, while also removing references to previous offenses related to the employment of children during certain hours.
Furthermore, the bill stipulates that it will not take effect unless Senate Bill No. 496 of the 103rd Legislature is enacted into law. This conditional enactment emphasizes the interconnectedness of legislative measures concerning workplace safety and child employment regulations.
