Where it is in the process
Plain-English Summary

This bill amends Michigan's Youth Employment Standards Act to change rules for employing minors. It shifts the responsibility for issuing work permits from schools to the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity after 18 months. The bill also updates the types of jobs minors can hold, their working hours, and increases penalties for employers who violate the act, especially if a minor is seriously injured or killed on the job.
