Corrections: other; responsibility for nonemergency medical, dental, or optometric services; modify. Amends sec. 67a of 1953 PA 232 (MCL 791.267a).

This bill proposes changes to how prisoners in Michigan pay for medical, dental, and vision care. It would require inmates who request nonemergency services to pay a copayment fee, with the cost shared by parents or guardians if the inmate is a minor. Additionally, the bill mandates that prisoners who intentionally harm themselves and receive emergency care must pay the full cost of that treatment instead of a copayment. The legislation also directs the state corrections department to decide whether to house self-injuring inmates in facilities equipped for on-site medical care and requires a report on the feasibility and cost of this arrangement within six months.
