HB5023

Michigan HB5023 modifies eligibility criteria for child care licenses and staff positions based on criminal history.

Michigan HB5023 amends the 1973 Public Act 116 to modify eligibility criteria for child care licenses and staff positions. It specifies that individuals convicted of certain felonies or misdemeanors are ineligible for these roles unless a certain period has passed since their conviction. The bill also details specific crimes that would bar eligibility, including felonies involving harm, firearms, cruelty, and fraud, as well as misdemeanors involving stalking, assault, and child pornography. The changes take effect 90 days after the bill is enacted into law.
