SB 85 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Children: child care; fingerprint requirement for child care licensees; expand locations to obtain. Amends sec. 5n of 1973 PA 116 (MCL 722.115n).

SB 85 requires child care centers, group child care homes, and family child care homes to obtain fingerprints from staff and household members during license applications or renewals. It expands where fingerprints can be collected - allowing individuals to use local law enforcement agencies or county sheriff's offices - instead of requiring only state-run locations. The bill mandates background checks against sex offender registries, state criminal databases, and FBI records, with results delivered within 45 days. Individuals denied eligibility may request a review of their case if they believe the denial was based on incorrect information.
