Why this matters
Enactment of PA 0060’26 finalizes statutory changes to Michigan’s core child-abuse prevention program framework (1982 PA 250), which governs how community-based prevention grantees are administered and defined. Because the bill is tie-barred with HB 4805 (Children’s Trust Fund disbursement math) and related measures, the prevention-programs statute and its funding mechanism move together, affecting grantees and the families they serve.
