HB 5785 Summary

• Amends Michigan's minors' drinking law to require court orders before administering preliminary chemical breath tests to minors who do not consent to testing.

• Changes terminology from "substance abuse prevention services" to "use disorder services" and updates references to section 6230 instead of section 6107 of the Public Health Code.

• Allows peace officers to request (rather than require) preliminary breath analysis from minors and specifies that without consent, a court order is needed before administering the test.

• Clarifies that a minor's refusal to consent to preliminary chemical breath testing no longer results in a civil infraction with up to $100 fine.

• Takes effect 90 days after enactment into law.
