Bill Summary
A bill to amend 1936 (Ex Sess) PA 1, entitled"Michigan employment security act,"(MCL 421.1 to 421.75) by adding section 32e.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Michigan Employment Security Act by adding a new section that requires the unemployment insurance agency (UIA) to continuously operate its fraud detection software, with only limited exceptions for routine maintenance. Specifically, the bill mandates that the UIA cannot discontinue using its fraud detection software except when absolutely necessary to perform maintenance that ensures the software functions properly. Any maintenance must be formally documented, kept to a minimal duration, and require immediate restoration of the software after completion. The bill defines "fraud detection software" broadly as any program, database, or software the UIA uses to evaluate unemployment claims for potential fraudulent activity. The intent appears to be ensuring consistent and uninterrupted monitoring of unemployment insurance claims to prevent fraud, by preventing the agency from unnecessarily turning off its fraud detection tools.
