Mental health: other; certain references in the mental health code; make gender neutral. Amends sec. 800 of 1974 PA 258 (MCL 330.1800). TIE BAR WITH: HJR F'25

HB 4608 amends Michigan's Mental Health Code (MCL 330.1800) by changing the term "parents" to "parent" in the definition of "parents" for minors under 18. This technical correction removes gendered language from the law, ensuring the definition applies equally to all legal guardians regardless of gender. The bill directly affects how the state defines financial responsibility for mental health services provided to minors. It makes a narrow, non-substantive change to existing code language without altering program requirements or service provisions.
