This bill aims to change how Michigan handles treatment for people with serious mental illness. It makes it easier for courts, doctors, and police to require someone to receive hospital care or court-ordered outpatient treatment if they are at risk of harming themselves or others, or if they are unable to care for their basic needs. The bill broadens the types of mental health professionals who can be involved in the process, sets clear timelines for review, and gives courts stronger authority if a person stops following their treatment plan.
