Appropriations: supplemental; funding for the youth and family justice bureau; provide for. Creates appropriation act.
Michigan House Bill 6298 is a supplemental appropriations act that reallocates funds within the Department of Health and Human Services for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026. The bill directs $150 million to the newly established Youth and Family Justice Bureau while reducing allocations for other child welfare functions, including foster care payments and local office staff compliance. These funding shifts are intended to support the specific powers and duties of the bureau as defined in the state probate code, effectively consolidating resources under this new agency structure.
