MI SB0988

Eliminates sunset provisions for administrative rate increases to foster care services, making permanent the state's 100% payment of administrative rates for foster care, treatment foster care, and residential foster care services.

Establishes a juvenile justice funding system for counties, administered by the Department of Health and Human Services, with detailed reimbursement procedures for in-home and out-of-home care services.

Authorizes automatic 10% administrative or indirect cost payments to counties monthly for both out-of-home and in-home care programs without requiring documentation submission.

Specifies reimbursable expenditures for detention, shelter care, and group care facilities, including staff salaries, fringe benefits, utilities, medical services, food, clothing, and technology and software for treatment programs.

Implements a one-year deadline for service providers to submit payment requests; requests after one year require exception approval and shield counties and the state from liability for prior expenditure errors related to foster care fund source determinations.
