Bill overview
This bill amends Michigan law to allow for the termination of parental rights when a child has been involved in human trafficking. It expands the existing grounds for termination to include instances where a parent has committed human trafficking, as defined by state law, in addition to other factors like abandonment, abuse, neglect, or criminal activity. The bill aims to prioritize the safety and well-being of children by ensuring that parental rights can be terminated when those rights pose a risk to the child’s welfare. It also outlines procedures for notifying relevant parties about termination hearings.
