THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 202. (1) An employer shall not do any of the following:
(a) Fail or refuse to hire or recruit, discharge, or otherwise
discriminate against an individual with respect to employment,
compensation, or a term, condition, or privilege of employment,
because of religion, race, color, national origin, age, sex,
height, weight, or marital status.
(b) Limit, segregate, or classify an employee or applicant for
employment in a way that deprives or tends to deprive the employee
or applicant of an employment opportunity, or otherwise adversely
affects the status of an employee or applicant because of religion,
race, color, national origin, age, sex, height, weight, or marital
status.
(c) Segregate, classify, or otherwise discriminate against a
person on the basis of sex with respect to a term, condition, or
privilege of employment, including, but not limited to, a benefit
plan or system.
(d) Treat an individual affected by pregnancy, childbirth, or
a related medical condition differently for any employment-related
purpose from another individual who is not so affected but similar
in ability or inability to work, without regard to the source of
any condition affecting the other individual's ability or inability
to work. For purposes of this subdivision, a medical condition
related to pregnancy or childbirth does not include nontherapeutic
abortion not intended to save the life of the mother.
(e) Ask a job applicant for information related to the job
applicant's past compensation or otherwise seek information related
to a job applicant's past compensation.
(2) This section does not prohibit the establishment or
implementation of a bona fide retirement policy or system that is
not a subterfuge to evade the purposes of this section.
(3) This section does not apply to the employment of an
individual by his or her parent, spouse, or child.
Enacting section 1. This amendatory act takes effect 90 days
after the date it is enacted into law.
