Corrections: other; screening and treatment for post traumatic prison disorder; provide for and require certain other mental health screening, planning, and treatment of incarcerated individuals. Amends sec. 67 of 1953 PA 232 (MCL 791.267) & adds secs. 34e, 67c & 67d.

HB 5196 requires Michigan correctional facilities to create mandatory mental health discharge plans for incarcerated individuals receiving mental health services or medication before release. These plans must include specific assessments (using tools like the PHQ-9 and GAD-7), identify housing/transportation risks, schedule post-release mental health appointments, ensure medication continuity, and assess Medicaid eligibility. The bill directly affects incarcerated individuals transitioning from correctional facilities to community settings, aiming to support their mental health needs during reentry. It amends existing law (MCL 791.267) and adds new sections (34e, 67c, 67d) focused on structured discharge planning. The bill is currently in committee referral after its October 2025 introduction.
