Labor: fair employment practices; employee who is or who intends to become a candidate for public office; prohibit an employer from discharging the employee based on. Creates new act.

This bill prohibits employers in Michigan from firing employees because they are running for public office or plan to run in the future. It applies to any business or organization that hires one or more people within the state. If an employer violates this rule, they face a civil fine of up to $1,000, and the affected employee can sue for lost wages and legal fees. The law also ensures that existing contracts conflicting with these protections will be updated when they are renewed or expire.
