An act to repeal 1981 PA 230, entitled “An act to create a bureau of community services and a commission on economic and social opportunity within a state department to reduce the causes, conditions, and effects of poverty and promote social and economic opportunities that foster self-sufficiency for low income persons; to provide for the designation of community action agencies; and to prescribe the powers and duties of the department, the bureau, the commission, and the community action agencies,” (MCL 400.1101 to 400.1119).
House Bills 5060 and 5061 would replace the Michigan Economic and Social Opportunity Act with a new but substantively similar act, the “Bureau of Community Action and Economic Opportunity Act.” The current law provides for the administration of the Community Services Block Grant (CSBG), a federal funding program intended to alleviate poverty and support low-income individuals.
