SB 221: Criminal procedure: mental capacity; outpatient treatment for misdemeanor offenders with mental health issues; provide for. Amends 1974 PA 258 (MCL 330.1001 - 330.2106) by adding sec. 1021 & ch. 10A. TIE BAR WITH: SB 219'25

Senate Bill 221 establishes a new process for individuals charged with misdemeanor offenses who have mental health issues. The bill allows for the diversion of these defendants into assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) if the prosecuting attorney, defendant, and defense counsel agree to an assessment and the defendant meets the AOT criteria. If a court orders AOT for up to 180 days, the misdemeanor charges remain pending but are dismissed after 90 days (or 180 days for serious misdemeanors). This diversion pathway provides an alternative to standard mental competency procedures for eligible misdemeanor offenders.
