Mental health: other; recipient rights advisory committee membership; modify. Amends secs. 100d & 756 of 1974 PA 258 (MCL 330.1100d & 330.1756).

SB 1048 amends the Michigan Mental Health Code to update and clarify the official definitions of key terms used throughout the state's mental health and substance use disorder systems. The bill specifically revises the definitions for "security transport officer," "serious emotional disturbance," "serious mental illness," and various service categories to ensure consistency with current diagnostic standards and federal laws. By modifying these sections, the legislation aims to provide clearer guidance for agencies, facilities, and individuals regarding eligibility criteria and service descriptions. This change directly affects the operations of county mental health departments, private security companies, adult foster care facilities, and the recipients of mental health services.
