Human services: other; elected official serving on a social services board; allow. Amends sec. 46 of 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.46).
SB 86 amends Michigan's Social Welfare Act to allow elected officials to serve on county social services boards, removing a current restriction that prohibited such members. This change directly affects county social services boards, which are responsible for administering local human services programs. The key provision updates Section 46 of the law to permit members holding elective offices (like county commissioners) to serve, while maintaining other appointment rules. The bill does not create new programs or funding but adjusts board composition requirements. It is currently in committee review after being introduced on February 12, 2025.
