SB 623 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Labor: health and safety; time to submit a complaint; modify. Amends sec. 65 of 1974 PA 154 (MCL 408.1065).

SB 623 shortens the deadline for Michigan employees to file workplace discrimination complaints related to safety concerns. It changes the current 180-day window for filing a complaint after retaliation to 30 days. This directly affects employees who report safety issues and employers who may retaliate against them. The bill modifies the existing Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Act to require complaints be filed within 30 days of the discriminatory act, streamlining the process for addressing retaliation. The change is procedural and does not alter other protections or enforcement mechanisms under the act.
