The bill amends the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act, specifically section 7c, to establish new registration and reporting requirements for local labor organizations representing casino gaming employees. These organizations must register biennially with the board and provide detailed information about their structure, including the names and addresses of their officers, their affiliations with international labor organizations, and comprehensive personal information about designated individuals, such as their compensation, criminal history, and employment background. The bill also mandates that any changes in this information be reported within 21 days and includes provisions for the confidentiality of this information under the Freedom of Information Act.

Additionally, the bill outlines the criteria for disqualifying individuals from performing certain functions within the labor organization based on moral character, including criminal convictions related to gambling or dishonesty. It specifies that individuals can appeal disqualifications and that the board has the authority to waive disqualification criteria if it aligns with public policy. The bill emphasizes that it does not infringe on the rights of casino gaming employees to organize or engage in collective bargaining and clarifies that local labor organizations cannot hold financial interests in casino licensees. The act will take effect 90 days after being enacted, contingent upon the passage of another related bill.
