This bill amends the existing child care licensing and regulation law in Michigan, specifically section 5r of 1973 PA 116. It establishes criteria for the eligibility of individuals applying for a child care license, being an adult member of a household, or serving as a child care staff member based on their criminal history. Key provisions include ineligibility for those who refuse to consent to required criminal history checks, those with a confirmed history of disciplinary actions, and those with specific felony or misdemeanor convictions related to violence, child abuse, drug offenses, and other serious crimes.

The bill also introduces new language regarding the ineligibility of individuals with certain felony convictions, such as those involving harm to individuals, use of firearms, or drug offenses, unless a specified period has lapsed since the conviction. Additionally, it modifies the language concerning crimes related to prostitution, changing it to "commercial sexual activity." The bill is set to take effect 90 days after being enacted, contingent upon the passage of another related bill.
