The bill amends the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act, specifically section 7c, to enhance the registration and reporting requirements for local labor organizations representing casino gaming employees. It mandates that these organizations register biennially with the board and provide detailed information about their structure, including the names and affiliations of designated individuals, their personal information, and any criminal history. The bill also stipulates that the information provided is exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act, ensuring confidentiality for the labor organizations.
Additionally, the bill introduces provisions for disqualifying individuals from performing certain functions within the labor organization if they lack good moral character, which includes criteria related to criminal convictions and false statements. It emphasizes that local labor organizations cannot hold financial interests in casino licensees and clarifies that the rights of casino gaming employees to organize and engage in collective bargaining remain intact. The act will take effect 90 days after being enacted, contingent upon the passage of another related bill.
