Senator Chang introduced Senate Bill 1223 of 2026 to update Michigan's seclusion and restraint law. In order for it to progress, there needs to be a hearing. Senators in the education committee need to know that you support an update to the seclusion and restraint law in Michigan.  

Michigan's current seclusion and restraint law has been in place for 10 years and it states that seclusion and restraint are supposed to be used only in emergency situations. Yet, they are used tens of thousands of times every year in Michigan schools on our most vulnerable students.

Help us urge the senate education committee to grant SB 1223 a hearing.

Excessive use of seclusion and restraint in Michigan is a problem.  Thank you for being a part of the solution!
