Summary

The measure amends Michigan’s child‑care licensing statute so that a medical statement for a foster family or group home cannot include vaccination records and the state may not require household members to be immunized. It still mandates a signed statement from a qualified medical professional and leaves other licensing and placement rules for foster and adult foster care unchanged.
