Mental health: recipient rights; informed consent requirements for mental health treatment; provide for. Amends sec. 416 of 1974 PA 258 (MCL 330.1416).
HB 4219 amends Michigan's mental health law (MCL 330.1416) to strengthen informed consent requirements for patients receiving mental health treatment. It directly affects individuals seeking mental health services by mandating that providers clearly explain treatment options, risks, and alternatives before obtaining consent. The bill requires providers to document this discussion and ensure patients understand their rights. Passed overwhelmingly (103-2) with immediate effect, the law updates existing patient rights protections under the 1974 Mental Health Code.
