Labor: working conditions; suitable seats; require employers to provide to employees under certain circumstances. Creates new act.

This bill requires employers in Michigan to provide suitable seats with back support to employees working at locations they own, lease, or control, provided it is reasonable for the employee to sit while performing their duties. The law mandates that if sitting is not reasonable during active work, the employer must still keep a seat nearby and cannot prevent its use unless the employee is actively working. Employers who fail to comply face civil fines of $250 for each affected employee for every two-week period the violation continues, with penalties collected by county prosecutors or the state attorney general. Additionally, the Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity is authorized to create specific rules to implement these requirements, and the law applies to existing contracts that conflict with its provisions once those agreements expire or are renewed.
