Health: licensing; references to licenses for certain substance use disorder services programs in the adult foster care facility licensing act; modify to include those exempt from licensure. Amends secs. 3 & 26a of 1979 PA 218 (MCL 400.703 & 400.726a). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5729'26
This bill amends Michigan's adult foster care facility licensing act to clarify how substance use disorder treatment programs are classified under the law. It specifically updates definitions in the statute to include facilities that are exempt from licensure as substance use disorder services programs, ensuring they are properly recognized within the adult foster care framework. The changes affect licensing requirements and regulatory oversight for homes and facilities that provide both foster care and substance use disorder treatment services. By modifying existing sections of the act, the bill aligns the licensing rules with current practices for co-occurring care programs without changing the core licensing standards themselves.
