Subject: Constituent asks for your support of HBs: 6320, 6321, 6322

Dear Representative [Last Name],

 

I’m a constituent asking you to support House Bills: 6320, 6321, and 6322, Theresa’s Law, a bipartisan effort to strengthen

safety, transparency, oversight, and staff training in Michigan’s Adult Foster Care (AFC) homes. 

 

Unlike many other states, Michigan allows unlicensed, uncertified, direct care staff to administer medications without

standardized training or licensed oversight. A dangerous practice that Michigan cannot afford to allow to continue.

Standardized training and oversight will protect vulnerable adults, reduce costly staff turnover, and help prevent

avoidable ER visits, hospitalizations, and EMS transports - saving Medicaid, Medicare, and Michigan taxpayers money.

 

The time to act is now. Please support Theresa’s Law and help make Michigan’s AFC homes safer, more accountable, and

more transparent.

Thank you,

[Your Name]
[Your City]
