Michigan HB5183 modifies worker's compensation benefits by clarifying the definition of "serious misconduct" that excludes an injured employee from.

Michigan HB5183 amends Section 305 of the 1969 Michigan Public Act 317 to modify worker's compensation benefits. Specifically, it clarifies that an injured employee will not receive compensation if their employer proves the injury resulted from the employee's intentional, serious, and willful misconduct. The bill defines "serious" misconduct as objectively egregious and reprehensible conduct that is harmful to the employee and others. This change aims to ensure that only employees who engage in truly egregious behavior are excluded from receiving benefits.
