It includes substantial investments in Michigan’s juvenile justice system through Department of Health and Human Services budget recommendations. After the vote, state Rep. Stephanie A. Young (D-Detroit) issued the following statement on the budget:
“This year’s House budget recommendations lets our most vulnerable youth know that we see them, we care about them and we are working on their behalf to make their lives better.
