Construction: other; installation of temporary locking devices or systems in child care centers; allow. Amends 1973 PA 116 (MCL 722.111 - 722.128) by adding sec. 3m. TIE BAR WITH: SB 0096'25, SB 0097'25

SB 98 requires child care centers in Michigan to install temporary door locking devices or systems that comply with the Stille-DeRossett-Hale construction code (MCL 125.1504i). This applies directly to licensed child care facilities, mandating that any temporary locks (like those used during emergencies) meet specific safety standards already defined in state building regulations. The bill does not create new security requirements but aligns child care center door safety with existing construction code provisions. It became law after approval by the governor on December 23, 2025, and is now part of Michigan’s child care licensing statute (MCL 722.111 et seq.).
