Health occupations: health professionals; policy for the receipt of medically necessary treatment by pupils; require. Amends 1976 PA 451 (MCL 380.1 - 380.1852) by adding sec. 1178b.

HB 5044 requires Michigan school districts and public charter schools to create policies by July 2026 allowing students with medically necessary treatment prescribed by healthcare providers to receive that care during school hours. The policy must include parent notices about federal disability rights (under Section 504 and the ADA), establish a 30-day meeting process for treatment requests, and specify when schools can deny requests (only if it causes a "fundamental alteration" or "undue burden"). Schools must also report annual data on treatment requests and denials to the state education department. This directly affects students with medical or mental health conditions requiring in-school care and school staff responsible for implementing the policy.
