Michigan HB5990 modifies immunization requirements for foster families.

Michigan HB5990 amends the licensing requirements for foster family homes and small group homes. It allows a child placing agency or governmental unit to place a child in an adult foster care family home or small group home if certain conditions are met, including that the placement is in the child's best interest and the child's needs can be met. The bill also modifies the licensing process by allowing the department to issue or renew a license without a criminal history check under certain circumstances.
