Crimes: prostitution; references to prostitute and prostitution; modify in the child care organizations act. Amends sec. 5r of 1973 PA 116 (MCL 722.115r).
This bill updates Michigan's child care laws to strengthen background check requirements for staff, household members, and license applicants. It establishes specific rules that automatically disqualify individuals from working in child care if they refuse background checks, provide false information, or have convictions for crimes such as child abuse, sexual offenses, domestic violence, and certain felonies involving harm or fraud. The legislation also sets time limits on how long past felony or misdemeanor convictions must have occurred before an individual becomes eligible to work in a child care setting.
