• Establishes the Michigan Crime Survivor Trauma Recovery Center Act (CSTRC) to be administered by the Department of Health and Human Services, creating trauma recovery centers for victims of assaultive crimes including sexual assault, domestic violence, physical assault, vehicular assault, human trafficking, and families of homicide victims.

• Creates a 12-member Crime Survivor Trauma Recovery Center Advisory Committee within 90 days of enactment, including mental health professionals, community organization representatives, advocates, law enforcement, prosecutors, trauma facility representatives, and crime survivors to advise on CSTRC development and implementation.

• Establishes a Crime Survivor Trauma Recovery Center Grant Fund sourced from excess revenues in the existing crime victim's rights fund and federal VOCA matching funds to support center operations, with $1,000,000 per year per center for 3-year grants to pilot centers.

• Requires CSTRCs to employ multidisciplinary teams (psychiatrist, psychologist, social worker, licensed professional counselor) providing evidence-based trauma treatment with minimum 16 treatment sessions per survivor, assertive case management, assertive outreach, and services targeting underserved populations including homeless, chronically mentally ill, immigrant, refugee, and juvenile crime survivors.

• Mandates annual reporting to governor and legislature on CSTRC services, demographics of survivors served, treatment outcomes, and geographic distribution of centers to ensure accessibility for the greatest possible number of underserved crime survivors.
