Bill > HB5021

This bill amends the Michigan Gaming Control and Revenue Act to modify language related to labor organizations representing casino gaming employees. The bill requires local labor organizations representing casino gaming employees to register biennially with the gaming board, providing detailed information about their organization and designated individuals, including personal details, employment history, criminal background, and professional licensing status. The bill changes some gendered language (replacing "he or she" with "the individual") and updates terminology, such as replacing "prostitution" with "commercial sexual activity". The legislation outlines specific circumstances under which the gaming board may disqualify labor organization officers or agents from performing certain functions, including grievance adjustment and dues collection, based on factors like criminal history or making false statements. The bill also emphasizes that these provisions do not limit employees' rights to form labor organizations or engage in collective bargaining. The amendments aim to increase transparency and accountability for labor organizations operating within the casino gaming industry, with the changes taking effect 90 days after enactment, contingent upon the passage of a related House Bill.
