Mental health: recipient rights; informed consent requirements for mental health treatment; provide for. Amends sec. 416 of 1974 PA 258 (MCL 330.1416).

SB 143 requires mental health providers in Michigan to clearly explain a patient's rights - including the right to end voluntary treatment - in both oral and written form when treatment begins. It also mandates that providers give patients and the person who signed the consent form copies of the written consent agreement and a standard form for ending treatment, regardless of whether the patient has requested to stop care. This applies to all mental health treatment in Michigan, directly affecting patients, their designated representatives (like family members), and providers by ensuring informed consent and transparency from the start of care.
