Bill overview
This bill modifies Michigan’s child protection law to strengthen mandatory reporting requirements related to newborns. Specifically, it mandates that individuals who know or have reasonable cause to suspect a newborn infant has alcohol, a controlled substance, or a metabolite of a controlled substance must report this to the Department of Health and Human Services. The bill clarifies reporting procedures and outlines specific circumstances where reporting is not required, such as when the substance is related to medical treatment.
