Bill overview
This bill amends Michigan’s Whistleblowers’ Protection Act to expand who can be protected from retaliation. It now includes employees who report violations to the state employee ombudsman or the press, in addition to reporting to public bodies. The bill clarifies definitions related to ‘employee,’ ‘employer,’ and ‘public body,’ and establishes a process for employees to seek legal remedies if they experience retaliation for making such reports. It also ties the bill’s effective date to the passage of another related bill, HB 4316.
