SB 219: Mental health: hospitalization; person requiring treatment; revise, and modify certain procedures for treatment. Amends secs. 401, 427, 430, 461, 468, 472a & 475 of 1974 PA 258 (MCL 330.1401 et seq.).

SB 219 revises Michigan's mental health hospitalization procedures by updating the definition of a "person requiring treatment" under the Mental Health Code. It clarifies that individuals with dementia, epilepsy, or substance use disorders alone do not qualify for involuntary hospitalization unless they meet specific criteria related to risk of harm, inability to meet basic needs, or refusal of necessary treatment with documented risk. The bill modifies police protocols for protective custody (requiring family contact options and documentation), mandates a psychiatrist's examination within 24 hours of hospitalization, and updates referral processes between screening units and hospitals. These changes directly affect individuals with mental illness who meet the revised criteria and the healthcare providers and law enforcement involved in their care.

SB 222: Mental health: other; petition for access to assisted outpatient treatment; expand to additional health providers. Amends sec. 473 of 1974 PA 258 (MCL 330.1473).

SB 222 expands who can petition for continued involuntary mental health treatment under Michigan's assisted outpatient program. It adds psychiatric nurse practitioners and physician assistants (working under a psychiatrist's delegation) to the list of eligible petitioners and allows individuals aged 18 or older to file petitions for themselves. Petitions must include a clinical certificate and evidence of a psychiatrist's consultation (unless the filer is a psychiatrist), along with details about the treatment program and estimated duration needed. This change directly affects patients requiring ongoing treatment and increases the number of authorized mental health providers who can initiate the petition process.
