HB 5220 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Children: protection; continuing education for mandated reporters in child abuse and neglect detection; require Amends sec. 3b of 1975 PA 238 (MCL 722.623b).

HB 5220 requires Michigan's Department of Health to create standardized training materials for mandated reporters (like teachers, healthcare workers, and others legally required to report suspected child abuse or neglect). Employers must provide this training to their staff every three years, or use their own updated training based on the state materials. The training must be made publicly available online by the Department. This bill only takes effect if House Bill 4530 is also enacted.
