Mental health: other; inclusion of mental health and substance use disorder services with the Michigan crisis and access line; provide for. Amends secs. 151 & 165 of 1974 PA 258 (MCL 330.1151 & 330.1165).

SB 802 requires Michigan to create and maintain an electronic registry that lists available inpatient psychiatric beds and community-based mental health and substance use disorder services. This registry must categorize available resources by factors such as patient gender, age, and diagnosis, and it must be accessible to health plans, hospitals, and individuals seeking help. The bill mandates that psychiatric facilities and community programs provide near real-time data on their capacity to the state department, which will then share this information with the Michigan crisis and access line. Consequently, the crisis line will be better equipped to connect callers directly with open beds and appropriate providers using digital communication tools. Additionally, the legislation establishes a committee to oversee the registry's operation and includes a requirement for the department to report quarterly on its implementation progress.
