An act to amend 1939 PA 280, entitled “An act to protect the welfare of the people of this state; to provide general assistance, hospitalization, infirmary and medical care to poor or unfortunate persons; to provide for compliance by this state with the social security act; to provide protection, welfare and services to aged persons, dependent children, the blind, and the permanently and totally disabled; to administer programs and services for the prevention and treatment of delinquency, dependency and neglect of children; to create a state department of social services; to prescribe the powers and duties of the department; to provide for the interstate and intercounty transfer of dependents; to create county and district departments of social services; to create within certain county departments, bureaus of social aid and certain divisions and offices thereunder; to prescribe the powers and duties of the departments, bureaus and officers; to provide for appeals in certain cases; to prescribe the powers and duties of the state department with respect to county and district departments; to prescribe certain duties of certain other state departments, officers, and agencies; to make an appropriation; to prescribe penalties for the violation of the provisions of this act; and to repeal certain parts of this act on specific dates,” by repealing section 117i (MCL 400.117i).
The primary objective of this legislation is to eliminate the specified section from the existing statute, which may involve changes to the administration or provision of social welfare services as previously governed by this section. The bill does not specify any new funding allocations or financial figures, indicating that the repeal itself does not directly involve new expenditures or reallocations of funds. The repeal of Section 117i could have various impacts on stakeholders, including potential changes in how social welfare services are delivered or regulated, though the specific benefits or drawbacks are not detailed in the text. The legislation does not outline any specific timelines or deadlines beyond the enactment date, suggesting that the repeal would take effect immediately upon passage.
