Senate Roll Call 860: Passed

To give guardians the power to give consent for a ward to receive mental health treatment, but not inpatient hospitalization unless a court expressly grants this power. If the ward objects or refuses mental health treatment, the guardian or another interested person would have to follow the procedures provided in a <a href="http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/2003-2004/billanalysis/Senate/htm/2003-SFA-0683-E.htm">2005 law</a> that established a process allowing courts to order involuntary mental health treatment.
