Mental health: other; authority for prescreening individuals for mental health services; modify. Amends (See bill).

HB 6022 amends Michigan's Mental Health Code to update and clarify the definitions of key terms used throughout the state's mental health system. The bill directly affects community mental health services programs, licensed hospitals, and individuals seeking mental health care by refining how concepts like "assisted outpatient treatment," "abuse," and "adaptive skills" are understood legally. Key provisions include expanding the definition of assisted outpatient treatment to explicitly cover various support services such as vocational training and supervision of living arrangements, while also standardizing definitions for roles like child and adolescent psychiatrists. By revising multiple sections of the existing law, the legislation aims to ensure consistency in how mental health services are administered and described across different facilities and programs.
