SB 628 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Human services: medical services; coverage for syringe service programs; provide for. Amends 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.1 - 400.119b) by adding sec. 109t.

SB 628 requires Michigan's medical assistance program (Medicaid) to cover syringe service programs, which provide clean needles, disposal containers, and other harm reduction supplies to people who inject drugs. This directly affects individuals who use injection drugs by expanding access to safer equipment, and it affects the state's Medicaid program by mandating coverage for these services. The bill defines "syringe service programs" as harm reduction initiatives offering supplies like needles, cookers, and sharps disposal containers. It does not change eligibility for Medicaid but ensures these specific harm reduction services are funded under existing medical assistance.
