Bill > A03382

This bill establishes a new crime called "misappropriation of payroll funds" which occurs when someone intentionally prevents money designated for employee wages or payroll taxes from being used for those purposes, knowing its intended use. However, this crime does not apply if a payroll processing company delays transferring funds as part of an agreement with an employer to investigate potential fraud or errors, nor is the payroll company responsible if the employer fails to provide enough money. This offense is classified as a class A misdemeanor, which is a serious but less severe type of criminal offense.
