SB 312 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Children: child care; review and appeal process for certain violations of child care organization rules; require the department to establish. Amends 1973 PA 116 (MCL 722.111 - 722.128) by adding sec. 12a.

Senate Bill 312 requires the relevant state department to establish a written review and appeal process for certain violations by child care organizations. This process will allow child care centers, group child care homes, and family child care homes to challenge departmental determinations of rule violations. It specifically applies to violations that do not result in the denial, revocation, or non-renewal of a license, or an injunction. The department must establish this process within 90 days of the bill's effective date and make it publicly available on its website.
