Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill amends Michigan's Child Protection Law to enhance child abuse and neglect prevention and reporting. The bill makes several key changes, including requiring all mandated reporters (such as teachers, healthcare professionals, and social workers) to complete a department-developed training on recognizing child abuse and neglect every three years. The bill also updates language throughout the existing law, replacing terms like "pursuant" with "according" and modifying language around child abuse and neglect descriptions. The department is still required to maintain multidisciplinary teams to address child protection issues, provide continuing education programs for personnel, and disseminate public information about child abuse and neglect prevention and treatment. Notably, the bill will only take effect if a companion bill (House Bill 4530) is also enacted, creating a legislative tie bar to ensure coordinated implementation of these child protection measures.
