Bill overview
This bill allows individuals to report wage discrimination anonymously to the Michigan Civil Rights Commission. It amends existing law to ensure that when the department investigates claims of discrimination under Article 2 (related to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, height, weight, or disability), it can protect the identity of the person making the complaint and those assisting with the investigation. The bill also requires the department to maintain a telephone line and a public website that allow for anonymous reporting of discrimination violations. This aims to increase the number of wage discrimination complaints investigated and addressed.
