Michigan HB4449 prohibits employment discrimination based on family health conditions and protects employees from retaliation.
Michigan HB4449, known as the "employee family health privacy act," prohibits employers from making employment decisions based on the health or illness of an employee's family member. This includes actions such as discharging, failing to hire, or discriminating against an employee. Employers are also barred from inquiring about the health status of an employee's family members, except for specific situations like verifying sick leave or health coverage claims. The act also protects employees from retaliation for reporting violations or participating in related investigations.
