Amendatory legislation to provide full reimbursement to the county for cost of crippled and afflicted patients under the iuriscliction of the Michigan Crippled Children's Commission; State presently reimburses 80% of adjusted ward costs. Your Legislative Committee did not approve the item of proposed legislation to allow the Board of Supervisors, in cooperation with the Friend of the Court, to set a service charge of not to exceed 3% for handling support and alimony funds in divorce cases. In the opinion of the Committee, this service charge would be deducted from the amount now received by recipients of support and alimony funds, making less the funds so received and thereby increasing hardships and privation in a great many instances.
