Michigan 2023-2024 Regular Session

Michigan Senate Bill SB1062

Introduced
11/7/24  

Caption

Children: child abuse or child neglect; reference to the state child abuse and neglect prevention board; update in the vehicle code. Amends sec. 811j of 1949 PA 300 (MCL 257.811j). TIE BAR WITH: SB 1065'24

Impact

If enacted, SB1062 would notably enhance the state's ability to collect donations through vehicle plates, channeling these funds directly into the Children's Trust Fund. This development holds the potential to provide financial support to programs and initiatives aimed at preventing child abuse and neglect, thereby strengthening the safety net for vulnerable children in the state. The direct involvement of the Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Board also ensures that the design and implementation of the plates will be aligned with the needs of children at risk.

Summary

Senate Bill 1062 proposes an amendment to the Michigan Vehicle Code, specifically targeting Section 811j. The primary focus of the bill is to establish a design for fundraising and collector plates that recognize the state's efforts in child abuse prevention and support for children. This design will be determined through consultations with the Michigan Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention Board. The bill emphasizes the importance of raising funds for the Children's Trust Fund, which allocates resources for the welfare of children in Michigan.

Contention

Notably, SB1062 is tied to Senate Bill 1065, meaning its enactment is contingent upon the passage of this other legislation. This tie bar may raise questions about the legislative strategy and the interconnectedness of bills addressing child welfare in Michigan. While the push for collecting funds through these plates may garner support, there could also be concerns about the effectiveness of the funds raised and how they will be utilized within the broader context of child protective services.
