MI HB6084

Modifies the definition of "person requiring treatment" under Michigan's Mental Health Code by replacing language about dangerousness with criteria focused on impaired judgment and inability to understand need for treatment.

Changes subsection (a) from requiring evidence of likely serious physical injury to requiring that judgment be so impaired the individual cannot understand their need for treatment, with harm expected based on clinical opinion.

Revises subsection (b) by replacing "unable to attend" with "incapable of attending" to basic physical needs and removes the "serious" modifier and "near future" timeframe for harm.

Adds new subsection (c) for individuals with impaired judgment unable to understand treatment needs where noncompliance can reasonably be expected to result in harm, with initial involuntary treatment limited to specific provisions.

Establishes subsection (d) for individuals unlikely to participate voluntarily in treatment, currently noncompliant with recommended treatment, and who have experienced psychiatric hospitalization, incarceration, or serious violent behavior within 48 months—restricting such individuals to assisted outpatient treatment only.
