SB 799 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Mental health: facilities; licensure for adult residential psychiatric programs; provide for. Creates new act.

SB 799 creates a new licensing system for adult psychiatric residential treatment facilities (APRTFs) that provide 24-hour residential psychiatric care to adults 18+ with severe mental health needs. It requires facilities to obtain a license from the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, pay fees ($2,000 initial, $1,000 renewal), and undergo on-site inspections before operating. The bill sets standards for care, defines prohibited exclusions (like psychiatric hospitals or nursing homes), and specifies that licensed facilities must offer individualized treatment plans certified by a physician. This directly affects APRTFs currently operating without state licensing, requiring them to meet new regulatory requirements to continue providing services.
