Introduced by Sen. Jim Barcia (D) on May 25, 2007, to establish that an appeal by an attorney of a ruling by the superintendent of the Michigan Children's Institute (the entity that is the statutory legal guardian for such children) on behalf of a child who is a ward of the state (because parental rights have been terminated) must proceed in the same manner as a “contested case” under the state Administrative Procedures Act.

1) Question of Authority for the Superintendent of MCI by batran on June 1, 2007
It may behoove the state to put any legislative activities on hold until the Michigan Supreme Court rules on the legitamacy of authority of the Superintendent for the Michigan Children's Institute.

The questions presented surround:

(1) usurption of the powers of the Governor;
(2) operating as a decision maker in the judicial branch hailing from the executive branch:
(3) the lack of proper mandated licensing and qualifications;
(4) no formal appointment to represent the state on record;
(5) no supervisory oversight;
(6) competency;
(7) fraudulent representation of the people through abolished authority.
