Expands grounds for Michigan's Department of Health and Human Services to petition for court jurisdiction over a juvenile to include human.

The bill amends Michigan law to include human trafficking violations as a ground for the Department of Health and Human Services to petition for court jurisdiction over a juvenile. This change aims to ensure that cases involving human trafficking are addressed by the court, potentially leading to the termination of parental rights if the parent has failed to take reasonable steps to intervene. The bill specifies that human trafficking is defined under the Human Trafficking Commission Act. This amendment seeks to protect children from ongoing abuse and exploitation.
