Public employees and officers: compensation and benefits; methods of compensation for salaried employees of the state civil service commission; require option for cryptocurrency. Amends 1978 PA 390 (MCL 408.471 - 408.490) by adding sec. 6a.

This bill would allow certain Michigan state civil service employees to request that their wages be paid in cryptocurrency starting in 2027. It directly affects salaried members of the classified state civil service who work for the state. Under the proposed law, employees could choose to receive payment in U.S. currency, via direct deposit, or through one of at least six digital currency options, which must include Bitcoin. The state would be prohibited from using any digital currency controlled by a national government or central bank. Employees would receive their wages in the payment method they select, with currency payments requiring in-person pickup at the Department of Treasury in Lansing.
