About this site
The idea for this site came from my role as moderator of the Oakland County Bar Association Juvenile Law Brown Bag Series. Developments in child protection, juvenile delinquency and adoption law are occurring almost daily and I did not feel that an annual state of the law seminar was sufficient. I decided to create this site to provide updates in the law throughout the year.-- Melinda N. Deel, Esq. (www.melindadeel.com)

Granholm signs bill allowing free babysitting
Posted on November 25th, 2009 No commentsGov. Jennifer Granholm has signed legislation that exempts babysitting from day care regulations after the state ordered a Barry County woman to stop watching her friend’s children before school.
The Republican-led Senate approved the bill on a 37-0 vote earlier this month. The Democratic governor signed it Tuesday. As I reported earlier on this site, the state Department of Human Services sent a letter to Lisa Snyder of Irving Township in August warning her that if she continued watching three children for about an hour each day before school, she’d be violating a law aimed at the operators of unlicensed day care centers.
The bill is HB 5514, you can get complete information on the Michigan Legislature website or by clicking here.
