2007 Senate Bill 511 ↩

House Roll Call 518: Passed

To strike from the Fiscal Year 2007-2008 <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2007-SB-232">Department of Human Services budget</a> passed on Oct. 30 provisions that would enable a greater amount of state foster care and adoption services to be transferred to private social service agencies than the current language allows. The Senate had wanted to transfer more of these functions to private entities, but compromised on a lesser amount. The revised version of this bill is only a "vehicle" that “corrects” the final version of the budget to reflect the understanding of the parties at the time.
