Bill > HB6430

This bill amends the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Act to decrease the maximum civil penalty that can be imposed on an employer if a death occurs on a family farm to certain individuals, such as the owner of the family farm or a family member of the owner. The bill defines a "family farm" as a farming operation that is wholly owned by the operator or their family members, where more than 50% of the employees are family members and the operation does not employ more than 9 non-family members or operate a temporary labor camp. The bill also clarifies language related to employer penalties for violations of the act.
