Laws § 400.115o","heading":"Residential care bed space for juveniles; “appropriate juvenile residential care provider” defined.","body":"Sec. 115o.\n\nBoth of the following apply to residential care bed space for juveniles who are within or likely to come within the court's jurisdiction under section 2(a) or (d) of chapter XIIA of 1939 PA 288, MCL 712A.2, or committed to the department under the youth rehabilitation services act, 1974 PA 150, MCL 803.301 to 803.309:\n\nIf 1 or more appropriate juvenile residential care providers located or doing business in this state have bed space available, the department shall use that space rather than a space available by a provider located or doing business in another state. This requirement does not apply if the provider located or doing business in another state offers a specialized program that is not available in this state.\n\nIf an excess of bed spaces is available within a security level, the department shall use the bed spaces of private providers with whom it has contracted and allow state owned bed spaces to go unused first. However, in applying this subdivision, a bed space that is available because a facility refused to accept a juvenile does not count toward a surplus.\n\nAs used in this section, \"appropriate juvenile residential care provider\" means a private nonprofit entity domiciled in this state that is licensed by the department of consumer and industry services and that entered into 1 or more contracts with the family independence agency to provide residential care services for juveniles on or before the effective date of the amendatory act that added this section.","path":["MI Code","Chapter 400","Act Act-280-of-1939"],"source_url":"https://www.legislature.mi.gov/Laws/MCL?objectName=mcl-400-115o","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:31Z","sha256":"7b7b65c08beb7fa2ed696bafe1fe65a688d57833f13287eb08a372fd1dcf88e7","source_id":"us-mi","stale":false,"prev":"us-mi/mich.-comp.-laws-400.115n","next":"us-mi/mich.-comp.-laws-400.115p"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
