SB 497 amends Michigan's sentencing guidelines to specifically address violations of the Youth Employment Standards Act. It modifies section 14b of the Code of Criminal Procedure (MCL 777.14b) to adjust the sentencing rules for offenses related to youth employment laws. This change directly affects employers who violate rules governing minors' working hours, safety, or other protections under the Youth Employment Standards Act. The bill updates the criminal procedure code to reflect these specific sentencing considerations for youth employment violations.
