Mental health: recipient rights; informed consent requirements for mental health treatment; provide for. Amends sec. 416 of 1974 PA 258 (MCL 330.1416).

This bill updates Michigan's mental health code to ensure patients and their designated representatives receive clear information about their rights before treatment begins. Specifically, it requires that patients be told orally and in writing about their right to object to treatment and how to end voluntary care. Additionally, the law mandates that copies of the consent form and a specific termination form be provided to the patient, the consenting individual, and one person chosen by the patient. These changes aim to improve transparency and empower individuals to make informed decisions regarding their mental health care.
