HB 4762 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Labor: youth employment; youth employment in residential building construction; allow under certain conditions. Amends sec. 19 of 1978 PA 90 (MCL 409.119).

HB 4762 allows youth aged 16 or older to work in residential building construction under specific safety conditions. It requires minors to hold an OSHA 10-hour certification, complete a state-approved trades program, and work under direct supervision by a qualified adult (21+ with OSHA certification and 2+ years experience). The bill prohibits work on structures over 6 feet tall (like roofs or scaffolding) and restricts employment to single-family home renovations. This directly affects 16+ year olds seeking construction work in Michigan, expanding opportunities while prioritizing safety through mandatory training and supervision.
