AI Summary

This bill modifies the Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Act by updating definitions and restructuring the governing board and its partners. It changes the term "child" to "individual" under 18 years old and clarifies that child abuse includes sexual abuse as defined by a specific section of the Michigan penal code. The bill renames the "state child abuse and neglect prevention board" to the "children trust Michigan board" and moves it to be an autonomous agency within the department of health and human services, allowing it to partner with tax-exempt nonprofit organizations for fundraising. It also renames "local council" to "prevention partner" and revises the composition of their boards to include more diverse representation from local agencies and the community, including parents. The bill also adjusts the matching fund requirement for organizations receiving grants from the trust fund and mandates that the auditor general conduct a review of the state board's performance every three years.
