MI HB6046

Replaces the criterion in subsection (1)(a) that required evidence of dangerous behavior with a new standard focusing on impaired judgment about need for treatment and risk of harm based on clinical opinion.

Modifies subsection (1)(b) to change "unable to attend" to "incapable of attending" basic physical needs and removes the "serious" qualifier and "near future" timeframe for harm.

Restructures subsection (1)(c) by removing the impaired judgment language and replacing it with criteria requiring evidence of dangerous acts or significant threats, making this category focused on dangerousness rather than lack of insight.

Adds new subsection (1)(d) creating a category for individuals with impaired understanding of treatment need who are noncompliant with recommended mental health treatment and have had at least 2 psychiatric hospitalizations, incarcerations, or serious violent acts within 48 months; limits this category to assisted outpatient treatment only.

Adds new subsection (2) requiring courts to apply and consider each criterion in subsections (1)(a) through (d) before determining someone is a person requiring treatment.
