Abstract
(HB5731 · 103rd Legislature) Health facilities: licensing; exemptions from the substance use disorder license requirement; include crisis stabilization units.

Why this matters
This bill extends Michigan’s evolving SUD licensure-exemption framework into the Mental Health Code, carving crisis stabilization units out of the SUD program licensing requirement. For the safety-net system, it clarifies that these behavioral-health crisis facilities can operate without a separate SUD program license, potentially easing the path to open or expand such units while shifting oversight to their existing Mental Health Code authorities.
