Bill > HB4325

This bill provides a supplemental appropriation of $5 million to the Michigan Department of Attorney General specifically to establish and fund a payroll fraud enforcement unit. The funding will support hiring approximately 25 full-time equivalent (FTE) employees dedicated to investigating and prosecuting payroll fraud cases. The appropriation is a one-time allocation from the state general fund, and the project is designed as a work project with a tentative completion date of September 30, 2029. The bill specifies that any unexpended funds will not lapse at the end of the fiscal year and will remain available for the project until completion. The funds are subject to the state's management and budget act, and the purpose is to enhance the Attorney General's capacity to identify and address payroll fraud through increased investigative and prosecutorial resources. The bill represents a targeted effort to combat wage theft and ensure proper compensation practices by expanding the state's enforcement capabilities in this area.
