MI HB4206

Requires hospitals and organizations collecting human breast milk to comply with Human Milk Banking Association of North America standards, unless the Department of Community Health approves alternate standards.

Exempts human milk collected exclusively for a mother's own child from screening test requirements.

For-profit breast milk banks, companies, and cooperatives must comply with Human Milk Banking Association standards or more stringent guidelines and can only accept milk from mothers at least 180 days postpartum, with payment delayed 28 days after receipt.

Requires for-profit milk banks to distribute at least 50% of collected breast milk from a locality to Michigan hospitals' neonatal intensive care units or local nonprofit milk banks serving premature, ill, or foster/adoptive infants.

For-profit milk banks must conduct annual audits demonstrating compliance with distribution requirements and submit reports to the Department by January 31 each year, with fines for non-compliance credited toward infant mortality prevention projects.
