Bill Summary · SB 419

Legislative bill overview

SB 419 amends Michigan's Children's Trust Fund law to increase the rolling average amount used to determine annual disbursements from the fund. The bill passed the Senate unanimously (36-0) and adjusts how much money is distributed each year to support child abuse and neglect prevention programs.

Why is this important

The Children's Trust Fund supports prevention initiatives across Michigan, including parent education, home visiting programs, and community-based services designed to reduce child maltreatment. Increasing the disbursement amount directly affects funding available for these preventive services in communities statewide.

Potential points of contention

  • The bill does not specify the exact dollar increase or new rolling average amount in the summary provided, making it difficult to assess fiscal impact
  • No information is available about whether this increase is permanent or indexed to inflation, affecting long-term budget predictability
  • The source of additional funding for increased disbursements is not detailed—whether it comes from general revenue, dedicated taxes, or existing fund reserves
