An act to amend 1974 PA 258, entitled “An act to codify, revise, consolidate, and classify the laws relating to mental health; to prescribe the powers and duties of certain state and local agencies and officials and certain private agencies and individuals; to regulate certain agencies and facilities providing mental health or substance use disorder services; to provide for certain charges and fees; to establish civil admission procedures for individuals with mental illness, substance use disorder, or developmental disability; to establish guardianship procedures for individuals with developmental disability; to establish procedures regarding individuals with mental illness, substance use disorder, or developmental disability who are in the criminal justice system; to provide for penalties and remedies; and to repeal acts and parts of acts,” by amending section 139 (MCL 330.1139), as amended by 2019 PA 83.
House Bill 5003 would amend the Mental Health Code to extend the sunset (expiration date) on the annual license and license renewal fee for psychiatric hospitals and units to October 1, 2027 – currently set to mature on October 1, 2023. Without a removal or extension of the sunset, the fees would not be collected after September 30, 2023. FY 2022-23 fee amounts, that otherwise would be eliminated, would be maintained in perpetuity under the bill. The fee is currently $500 per license and $10 per patient bed.
