Bill overview
This bill revises and modifies procedures for involuntary mental health treatment in Michigan. It updates the definition of a "person requiring treatment," expanding it to include individuals with dementia, epilepsy, or substance use disorders who also meet specific criteria related to potential harm to themselves or others. The bill outlines the process for initiating protective custody, examining individuals, and issuing orders for hospitalization or assisted outpatient treatment, with limitations on the duration of these orders. It also addresses the court's role in monitoring treatment compliance and making adjustments to treatment plans.
