The Michigan House of Representatives voted this week to approve a bill that would bar the state’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration from levying fines against several businesses accused of breaking COVID-19 emergency rules.

The bill would prevent the department from imposing a civil penalty on a business if the violation was its first and the business has taken action to correct it.
