Health occupations: physicians; reporting to secretary of state patients with conditions that that cause or contributes to a seizure; require under certain circumstances. Amends sec. 5139 of 1978 PA 368 (MCL 333.5139).

Senate Bill 244 mandates that physicians report patients to the Secretary of State if they have conditions causing "seizure experiences" that could jeopardize their ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. This changes the current law, which allows for voluntary reporting of other conditions affecting driving. Physicians making these reports are required to recommend a period of license suspension, such as at least 6 months for an operator's license, and are granted immunity from liability if they act in good faith and with due care. The bill directly affects physicians and patients with seizure-related conditions.
