A SUMMARY OF HOUSE BILL 4989 AS INTRODUCED 6-26-01
The Adult Foster Care Facility Licensing Act (MCL 400.711) contains a reference to 'a city having a population of not less than 1,000,000'; this is understood to refer to the City of Detroit. Specifically, the act allows the state fire marshal to contract with the fire marshal of a city with 1,000,000 or more residents to inspect an adult foster care facility, located within the city, that was licensed, or proposed to be licensed, for more than six adults.
The bill would change the population threshold for the city to 750,000. The bill would also change all references to the state fire marshal to the Office of Fire Safety of the Department of Consumer and Industry Services.
