MI HB6216

Allows physicians and optometrists to voluntarily report to the Secretary of State regarding patients' mental and physical qualifications to operate a motor vehicle, with immunity from liability if they choose not to report.

Physicians may recommend license suspension periods of at least 6 months for operator's license holders and at least 12 months for commercial license holders when submitting reports to the Secretary of State.

Adds exception allowing physicians to recommend suspension periods under sections 309a(2) or (3) of the Michigan Vehicle Code if a patient has experienced an epileptic seizure.

Provides civil and criminal liability immunity for physicians and optometrists making good faith reports that are documented in the patient's medical record.

Amends definitions of "optometrist" and "physician" to reference specific statutory sections rather than parts of the Public Health Code.
