The bill amends the Michigan Employment Security Act by adding a new section, 32e, which mandates that the unemployment insurance agency must continuously use its fraud detection software, with the exception of necessary routine maintenance. This maintenance must be documented and limited in duration, ensuring that the software is restored for use immediately after the maintenance is completed.

Additionally, the bill defines "fraud detection software" as any program, database, or software utilized by the unemployment insurance agency to assess claims for potential fraud. This amendment aims to enhance the integrity and efficiency of the unemployment insurance system by ensuring that fraud detection measures remain consistently operational.
