House Bill 4841 Update

HCAM continues advocacy efforts to oppose HB 4841, which if implemented, would significantly change the Adult Foster Care Facility Licensing Act. HCAM member Jon Zima of Dockerty Health along with two HCAM staff members testified before the Michigan House Families, Children, and Seniors Committee on September 19. Chair Young indicated her willingness to address stakeholder concerns. HCAM continues to engage with the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), the bill sponsor, committee members, and legislative leaders to educate them about the catastrophic impact the bill will have on Michigan’s AFCs and ensure that the most problematic provisions of the bill are addressed.
