Bill overview
This bill requires the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services to include a digital photograph and signature of food assistance or cash assistance recipients on their Michigan Bridge cards. The cards are used to distribute benefits electronically. The department must use standard purchasing procedures to acquire the necessary equipment for capturing these images and signatures, and the cards will display the images of all authorized card users.
