Corrections: other; responsibility for nonemergency medical, dental, or optometric services; modify. Amends sec. 67a of 1953 PA 232 (MCL 791.267a).

Senate Bill 318 amends Michigan's Corrections Code, modifying the financial responsibility for medical services provided to prisoners. Under this bill, prisoners who intentionally injure themselves will be responsible for the entire cost of the emergency medical care they receive for those injuries. This means they will pay the full amount, rather than a copayment, for treatment of self-inflicted harm. The bill directly affects prisoners within Michigan's correctional facilities and the Department of Corrections' administration of medical costs.
