 Michigan Senate Bill 232 Floor Analysis
Senate Bill 232 is sponsored by Michigan State Senator Bill Hardiman.
Currently, according to Senator Hardiman's office, private agencies
provide 40% of foster care and juvenile justice services in the
state. SB 232 will increase the percentage of services provided by
community-based agencies to 60%. Under Senate Bill (SB) 232,
licensed non-profit nationally accredited agencies would handle 60%
of foster care and juvenile justice services and the Michigan
Department of Human Services (DHS) would shift from providing direct
services to providing oversight, licensure, monitoring, and
coordination of children's services. The proposal is projected to
save $19 million in the 2007-2008 fiscal year.
