Crimes: assaultive; crime of assaulting a person performing job-related duties; expand to include health professionals. Amends secs. 81, 81a & 81d of 1931 PA 328 (MCL 750.81 et seq.). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4534'25, HB 4535'25
HB 4532 expands Michigan's assault laws to specifically protect health professionals and medical volunteers who are assaulted while performing job duties. The bill increases fines for such assaults from $500 to $1,000 (for non-patient offenders) and requires health facilities to post clear notices about this penalty. It excludes patients receiving treatment from the enhanced fine but still allows prosecution for patient assaults. This directly affects doctors, nurses, and volunteers working in healthcare settings during their professional duties.
