Bill overview
This bill requires Michigan hospitals to include specific drug tests in their drug screens when investigating potential drug overdoses. Hospitals must report these test results to the Department of Health and Human Services, ensuring patient privacy. The Department of Health and Human Services will analyze this data to track trends and risk factors related to substance use. Finally, the Department will create a list of ‘qualified substances’ to be tested, which will be reviewed annually.
