INCREASE NUMBER OF CHILDREN ALLOWED

AT RESIDENTIAL CHILD CARE FACILITIES

House Bill 6499 as introduced

Sponsor:  Rep. John Reilly

Committee:  Local Government

Complete to 11-28-18

SUMMARY:

House Bill 6499 would amend the Michigan Zoning Enabling Act to increase the number of children allowed to live at a state licensed residential facility.

Currently, the Act allows for six or fewer individuals to be provided 24-hour supervision or care at a residential facility. The bill would retain that number for facilities licensed under the Adult Foster Care Facility Licensing Act, but allow up to 10 individuals to receive that care if the facility were licensed under the Child Care Licensing Act and located on a parcel of 20 acres or more.

The bill would take effect 90 days after enactment.

MCL 125.3102

FISCAL IMPACT:

The bill would have no discernible fiscal impact on state or local units of government.
