House Families and Veterans Committee adopts H‑1 substitute for HB 4750 to expand foster‑care notifications
Summary
The House Families and Veterans Committee voted to adopt the H‑1 substitute for House Bill 4750, expanding who at a supervising child‑placement agency must be notified after a child is placed in foster care and adding components to required financial literacy training.
The House Families and Veterans Committee voted to adopt the H‑1 substitute for House Bill 4750 at its committee meeting. The substitute expands which contact at a supervising child‑placement agency must be notified after a child is placed in foster care and inserts components required under the bill's financial literacy training provisions.
The substitute was adopted on a roll call after Representative Johnson moved to adopt the H‑1 substitute. Chair Schmaltz answered “Yes” on the roll call and the clerk reported 10 yays, 0 nays and 1 pass; the motion prevailed. A subsequent motion by Representative Pavlov to report HB 4750 to the House floor with recommendation as the H‑1 substitute also prevailed by roll call: 7 yays, 0 nays and 4 pass. The clerk announced that HB 4750 is reported to the floor with recommendation as an H‑1 substitute.
A single public comment card was read into the record indicating opposition: Josh Pease, identified on the card as representing the Children’s Law Section of the Michigan State Bar, was recorded as opposed to HB 4750.
No statutes, ordinance numbers, or identical legal citations were given on the record during the committee discussion. The committee did not amend the substitute on the floor of the committee beyond adopting the H‑1 language.
Votes at a glance: the committee adopted the H‑1 substitute by roll call and then voted to report HB 4750 to the House floor with recommendation as the H‑1 substitute.
Members who voted on the adoption and the report are recorded in the committee roll calls. The committee adjourned after the report to the floor was made.
