MI HB4862

Amends Michigan's mental health law (1974 PA 258) to merge substance use disorder services with community mental health services under a unified system administered by department-designated community mental health entities.

Establishes Chapter 2A to create new procedures for minors aged 14-17 seeking substance use disorder treatment, including court-ordered treatment determinations, diagnostic evaluations within 48 hours, and limits on involuntary treatment to 7 business days pending court hearings.

Allows minors age 14+ to consent to substance use disorder treatment without parental consent, while minors under 14 require parental request; prohibits psychotropic drug use without minor consent or court order.

Requires implementation of changes by October 1, 2014; establishes substance use disorder oversight policy boards at the county level with approval authority over treatment and prevention budgets.

Repeals Parts 61 and 65 of the public health code and multiple sections governing substance abuse services, consolidating regulatory authority under the unified mental health and substance use disorder framework.
