Bill overview
This bill changes the requirements for when the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) can ask a court to take custody of a child. It expands the list of reasons MDHHS can petition for court involvement to include suspected cases of human trafficking involving a parent or placing the child at risk. The bill aims to strengthen protections for children by ensuring the court has authority when abuse or neglect, including trafficking, is suspected.
