LANSING, Mich. (Dec. 19, 2025) \u2014\u00a0This week, the Michigan House and Senate unanimously passed legislation sponsored by Sens.\u00a0<\/span>Jeremy Moss<\/b>\u00a0(D-Bloomfield)\u00a0and\u00a0Mallory McMorrow<\/b> (D-Royal Oak) to increase safety measures inside child care centers during an emergency, like a mass shooting.<\/p>\n

Senate Bills\u00a0<\/span>96<\/a><\/u><\/span>–98<\/a><\/u><\/span> allow these facilities to install a temporary door locking device to prevent access from intruders.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur Senate majority has worked to prevent mass shootings by enacting gun safety laws that are saving lives.\u00a0In the event that\u00a0an active shooting does occur, our legislation allows child\u00a0care facilities to install automatic door locks \u2014\u00a0just like schools can \u2014\u00a0to protect those inside,\u201d said\u00a0Sen.\u00a0<\/span>Moss.<\/b> \u201cThese bills reflect the sad but necessary reality of what we need to do to keep Michigan kids safe.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Legislature previously amended the building and fire codes to permit door locking devices or systems in school buildings. SBs 96-98 include child care centers in the same acts.<\/p>\n

\u201cParents in Michigan deserve peace of mind when they drop their kids off at preschool or daycare,\u201d said Sen.\u00a0<\/span>McMorrow<\/b>. \u201cThey shouldn\u2019t have to wonder if their children are truly safe. That\u2019s why I\u2019m proud to work with Sen. Moss on this \u2014 we\u2019re making it possible for child care centers to install automatic door locks that can help protect kids if the worst happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bills\u00a0now move on to Gov.\u00a0<\/span>Gretchen Whitmer<\/b>\u00a0for her signature.\u00a0<\/div>\n
