Children: child care; definitions in the child care organizations act; revise. Amends secs. 1 & 9 of 1973 PA 116 (MCL 722.111 & 722.119) & repeals sec. 17a of 1973 PA 116 (MCL 722.127a). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0692'24

This bill updates the definitions within Michigan's Child Care Organizations Act to clarify who and what falls under state regulation. It specifically revises the criteria for "child care staff members" and "child care organizations" to include a broader range of workers and facilities, such as therapeutic group homes and certain camps. The legislation also removes a previous provision that excluded licensed camps from the act's definition of a child care organization. These changes ensure that the law's terminology accurately reflects the variety of settings and personnel involved in caring for minors.
