SB 910 Michigan Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Children: protection; modifications to the central registry; provide for. Amends secs. 2, 7j & 8 of 1975 PA 238 (MCL 722.622 et seq.).

SB 910 amends Michigan's Child Protection Law to update and clarify the definitions of key terms used in the state's child welfare system. The bill directly affects the Department of Health and Human Services, child care organizations, foster care providers, and attorneys working with children. It revises the definitions of "central registry," "child abuse," "child neglect," and other specific categories to ensure consistency across legal documents and case records. These changes aim to standardize how the state identifies and documents serious incidents involving children, including exposure to methamphetamine production and various forms of sexual abuse. By refining these definitions, the legislation seeks to improve the accuracy of data within the department's electronic case management system.
