Introduced

To require state officials to make quarterly reports to the legislature on compliance with laws requiring specific responses and follow-ups in child abuse and neglect investigations. The reports would have to include measures of whether investigations are commenced within 24 hours of a report coming in, whether the individuals involved are being checked against a state abuse “central registry,” whether face-to-face contact is being made within the timeframe required and more. This is part of a legislative package comprised of House Bills 4704 to 4709 that revise Michigan's child protective services law and programs in response to a 2018 Auditor General finding that "efforts to ensure the appropriate and consistent application of selected CPS investigation requirements” are insufficient.
