Michigan HB4437 modifies civil penalties for Michigan occupational safety and health violations.

Michigan HB4437 amends the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Act to modify civil penalties for violations. The bill specifies that if an employer receives a citation for a serious violation, the board may assess a penalty of up to $7,000.00. For willful or repeated violations, the penalty can be up to $20,000.00. If a violation causes an employee's death, the employer faces felony charges. The bill also mandates that penalties be adjusted to match equivalent federal penalties when federal penalties change.
