MI HB4254

Changes terminology in corrections code from "persons" to "individuals" throughout section 62 definitions of holding cells, holding centers, jails, and lockups.

Replaces "bureau of prisons" with "correctional facilities administration" as the entity administering state correctional facilities.

Updates statutory reference format for the administrative procedures act from "Act No. 306 of the Public Acts of 1969, being sections 24.201 to 24.315" to "1969 PA 306, MCL 24.201 to 24.328."

Requires the department to adopt an evidence-based and empirically validated screening tool to detect serious mental illness, psychological disturbances, co-occurring substance use disorders, and developmental disabilities during jail intake processing.

Mandates sheriffs and jail administrators to use the adopted screening tool to provide appropriate treatment and referrals to detainees, contingent on appropriated funding.
