Introduced
by
To revise details of a certain court procedure under the <a href="http://archive.legislature.mi.gov/documents/1999-2000/billanalysis/House/pdf/1999-HLA-5543-B.pdf">“Safe Delivery of Newborns Law”</a> passed in 2000 to spell out the procedures to be followed when a new mother surrenders a newborn to an emergency services provider. The bill would allow the court to order a child placing agency to petition for jurisdiction under the juvenile code, instead of terminating the petitioner's parental rights and giving a child placing agency care and custody, if the court found that granting custody to the parent would not serve the newborn's best interests.
Referred to the Committee on Families and Human Services
Reported without amendment
With the recommendation that the substitute (S-1) be adopted and that the bill then pass.
Substitute offered
To replace the previous version of the bill with one that revises details but does not change the substance of the bill as previously described.
The substitute passed by voice vote
Passed in the Senate 36 to 0 (details)
Referred to the Committee on Families and Childrens Services
Passed in the House 99 to 0 (details)
