Worker's compensation: funds; uninsured employer's security fund; modify. Amends sec. 501 of 1969 PA 317 (MCL 418.501) & adds sec. 536.

HB 5191 modifies Michigan's worker's compensation law to strengthen the Uninsured Employer's Security Fund. The fund will pay benefits to workers injured by uninsured employers, effective from the bill's implementation date. It can later seek reimbursement from those employers for up to three times the benefits paid plus administrative costs, and impose fines of up to $10,000 for failing to provide required business records. This directly affects injured workers and uninsured employers who must repay the fund.
