A bill to amend 1973 PA 116, entitled “An act to provide for the protection of children through the licensing and regulation of child care organizations; to provide for the establishment of standards of care for child care organizations; to prescribe powers and duties of certain departments of this state and adoption facilitators; to provide penalties; and to repeal acts and parts of acts,” (MCL 722.111 to 722.128) by adding section 12a.
The legislative text introduces an amendment to the 1973 PA 116, which governs the licensing and regulation of child care organizations in Michigan. The primary provision of this amendment mandates the establishment of a process by the relevant department for licensees to request a review and appeal of determinations that they have violated rules under this act. This process is specifically for violations that do not lead to the denial, revocation, or refusal to renew a license, nor result in an injunction under section 13. The department is required to implement this process within 90 days of the amendment's effective date. Additionally, the process must be documented in writing and made publicly accessible on the department's website.
