HB 5728: Health: licensing; references to licenses for certain substance use disorder services programs in the prudent purchaser act; modify to include those exempt from licensure. Amends sec. 2 of 1984 PA 233 (MCL 550.52). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5729'26

This bill modifies the Prudent Purchaser Act in Michigan to clarify that substance use disorder treatment programs exempt from licensure are still considered health facilities under the law. The change updates the definition of "health facility" in the statute to explicitly include programs that are either licensed or exempt from licensure under specific public health codes. This adjustment ensures these programs are recognized within the legal framework governing health care provider agreements and purchasing arrangements. The bill is tied to companion legislation HB 5729 and would take effect only if that related bill is also enacted.

This bill requires most programs offering substance use disorder prevention, treatment, or rehabilitation services in Michigan to obtain a license from the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, with exceptions for hospitals, psychiatric facilities, crisis stabilization units, and certain long-standing nonprofit organizations. It directs the department to create a licensing unit and establish uniform rules covering program organization, staffing, facilities, financial audits, and quality control measures. The legislation also sets a one-year license term, mandates department inspections every three years, and allows waivers for programs accredited by recognized health facility accrediting bodies.

HB 5735: Health: licensing; references to licenses for certain substance use disorder services programs in the overdose fatality review act; modify to include those exempt from licensure. Amends sec. 3 of 2023 PA 313 (MCL 330.3023). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5729'26

This bill amends Michigan's Overdose Fatality Review Act to update the definition of "substance use disorder treatment provider" to include organizations that are exempt from licensure requirements. The change ensures that programs providing FDA-approved medications for substance use disorders are recognized under the law even if they do not hold a traditional state license. The bill directly affects public health officials and organizations involved in reviewing drug overdose deaths and implementing prevention strategies. It does not create new programs or change how reviews are conducted, but rather clarifies which entities qualify as treatment providers within the existing framework. The legislation is tied to another bill (HB 5729) and will not take effect until that companion bill is also enacted.

This bill modifies Michigan's Mental Health Code to update definitions and clarify requirements for health facilities, particularly regarding substance use disorder licensing and crisis stabilization units. It amends existing sections to include crisis stabilization units within the scope of facilities that may be exempt from certain substance use disorder license requirements, while also repealing an outdated section. The legislation primarily affects community mental health services programs, licensed hospitals, and adult foster care facilities by refining how they must be classified and regulated under state law. These changes aim to align the code with current service delivery models without altering the core licensing framework for mental health providers.

HB 5730: Health: licensing; references to licenses for certain substance use disorder services programs in the municipal health facilities corporations act; modify to include those exempt from licensure. Amends sec. 103 of 1987 PA 230 (MCL 331.1103). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5729'26

This bill amends the Municipal Health Facilities Corporations Act to clarify which substance use disorder service programs are exempt from licensure requirements. It updates the definition of "direct provider of health care" to explicitly include organizations that are exempt from licensure under the Public Health Code, alongside those that are licensed or certified. The change applies to municipal health facilities corporations and their subsidiary entities, ensuring that programs currently operating without a license but meeting specific state exemptions remain compliant with the act. By aligning the definition with existing public health code provisions, the bill removes ambiguity about which substance use disorder programs fall under the corporation's regulatory scope.

This bill modifies Michigan's Social Welfare Act to clarify that certain substance use disorder programs exempt from licensure are eligible to provide medically necessary acute detoxification and inpatient care for opioid use disorder. The change updates section 109 of the Social Welfare Act to explicitly include these exempt programs alongside licensed facilities in the list of approved providers for substance use disorder treatment services. The amendment does not alter existing requirements for licensed facilities but ensures that unlicensed programs meeting specific criteria can access Medicaid funding for these services. The bill is tied with HB 5729 and was introduced in March 2026 by Representative Mike Harris.

This bill requires all participants in Michigan driver education courses to complete a work zone safety education course starting January 1, 2027, before receiving a level 2 graduated driver license. The mandatory course, developed with the Department of Transportation, must cover at least 30 minutes of instruction on identifying construction zones, safety precautions for workers and drivers, traffic violation penalties, and safe driving strategies around construction equipment.

This bill requires the Michigan Secretary of State to conduct criminal background checks using fingerprint-based systems before authorizing any individual to administer driver's license knowledge tests or driving skills tests. The legislation also mandates that applicants for commercial vehicle endorsements must complete these background checks, and it adds new requirements for examining officers to report their findings in writing. Additionally, the bill clarifies that driving skills tests must include behind-the-wheel road tests and ensures that commercial learner's permits are held for at least 14 days before testing. These changes apply to all individuals administering driving tests in Michigan and aim to enhance the integrity of the licensing process.

HB 5358 modifies Michigan's teacher licensing requirements. It requires teachers seeking professional certification to complete a 3-credit course on diagnosing and supporting students with reading disabilities, including specific tools and strategies. The bill also creates streamlined pathways for out-of-state teachers to obtain Michigan certification if they've taught successfully for at least 3 years in their previous state, waiving some exam and reading course requirements. These changes directly affect teachers, school districts, and teacher preparation programs by altering certification standards and reciprocity processes.

SB 278: Housing: other; housing and community development fund; modify. Amends secs. 58, 58b & 58c of 1966 PA 346 (MCL 125.1458 et seq.).

Senate Bill 278 amends the State Housing Development Authority Act of 1966 to modify the Michigan Housing and Community Development Fund. It expands the fund's focus to include middle-income households and projects located in downtown areas or adjacent neighborhoods, in addition to existing support for low-income households. The bill revises how the fund's money is allocated, adding considerations for accessible housing and the availability of other funding sources for specific groups, while removing some previous earmarks for rental and homeownership projects. It also enhances public engagement requirements for the fund's biennial allocation plan, mandating virtual participation options and targeted outreach.

SB 480: Children: child care; definition of minor in the child care organizations act; modify. Amends sec. 1 of 1973 PA 116 (MCL 722.111).

SB 480 amends Michigan's Child Care Organizations Act to clarify definitions related to staff roles and facility types. The key change lowers the minimum age for certain child care staff members from 18 to 16 years old, specifically for individuals providing unsupervised care or having unsupervised access to children in licensed settings. It also updates definitions for "child care center" (excluding brief religious programs or sports activities) and "child caring institution" (clarifying it excludes hospitals and adult facilities). These changes directly affect licensed child care centers, family child care homes, and their staff members by defining eligibility and responsibilities more precisely. The bill makes no new funding or program requirements - it only refines existing regulatory language.
