Children: other; rolling average amount for disbursement under the children's trust fund; increase. Amends sec. 1 of 1982 PA 249 (MCL 21.171).
HB 4805 increases the percentage of Michigan's Children's Trust Fund available for disbursement to child welfare programs. It changes the disbursement rate from 4.25% (2015-2017) to up to 5% starting in 2018 (if the fund's 12-quarter average reaches $23.5 million), and then to up to 8% beginning in fiscal year 2025. The bill uses a rolling average of the fund's value (including investment gains or losses) to determine annual disbursement amounts. This directly affects state funding for child abuse prevention and related services under the Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Act.
