HB 5638 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Fire: other; requirements for certain child care organizations and procedures for certain investigations; modify and make other revisions to 1973 PA 116. Amends secs. 2, 3, 5n, 10 & 11c of 1973 PA 116 (MCL 722.112 et seq.).

This bill updates Michigan's child care regulations by requiring the state to create advisory committees that include parents and affected organizations to help develop and review safety rules. These committees must consist of at least 12 members and will guide the creation of standards covering staff qualifications, facility safety, and operational practices for licensed child care centers and homes. The legislation also establishes a 90-day grace period for facilities to comply with new rules, unless there is an immediate health or safety risk. Additionally, it clarifies that schools operating child care centers on campus are exempt from certain fire safety rules if the building is already certified as safe for educational use.
