Michigan HB5177 modifies the definition of "employee" under the Worker's Compensation Act to include certain performances of service. It specifies that individuals registered with the state's verification system, performing services under specific circumstances, and those in federally funded training programs are considered employees. The bill also outlines conditions under which individuals can be excluded from employee status, such as those in certain partnerships or limited liability companies. The changes aim to clarify who qualifies for worker's compensation benefits in Michigan.
