AI Summary
This bill amends existing Michigan law to prohibit employers from seeking certain information from job applicants. Specifically, it prevents employers from asking about an individual's past wages, fringe benefits, credit score, or credit history when they are seeking employment. However, there are exceptions to this rule, such as when an employer is legally required to use this information for employment purposes, like bonding requirements, or if the employer is a financial institution or a registered broker-dealer or investment adviser. The bill also clarifies existing provisions that protect employees' rights to discuss their wages.
