MI SB1166

Requires supervising agencies to identify, locate, notify, and consult with relatives within 30 days of a child's removal to determine placement with a fit and appropriate relative.

Establishes preference for placement with adults related to the child within the fifth degree by blood, marriage, or adoption, with exceptions allowed only for good cause (parental or child request, sibling attachment, specialized treatment needs, or distance impediments to reunification).

Mandates placement decisions be made within 90 days of removal with written notice to the child's attorney, guardian, parents, interested relatives, and prosecutor explaining the reasons for the decision.

Requires reasonable efforts to place siblings together in foster care, kinship guardianship, or adoptive placement, and to facilitate at least monthly contact between separated siblings unless a court determines such contact would be detrimental.

Allows persons receiving a placement decision to request written documentation and petition the child's attorney for court review if they believe the decision is not in the child's best interest, with court hearing required within 7 days.
