Health: substance use disorder treatment; licensure for substance use disorder service program; modify. Amends secs. 6233, 6235, 6236 & 6251 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.6233 et seq.).

This bill establishes a new licensing requirement for programs in Michigan that provide substance use disorder treatment and rehabilitation services. It mandates that any organization offering these specific services must obtain a license from the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, unless they already hold a license for psychological, medical, or social services, or are specific types of hospitals and long-standing nonprofit organizations. The legislation outlines the process for applying for a license, which includes notifying local community groups and allowing public comment before a decision is made. Additionally, the bill grants the department the authority to create rules for administering the program and to take legal action against unlicensed operators if their activities pose a serious risk to patients.
