Abstract
(SB1001 · 103rd Legislature) Human services: medical services; certified community behavioral health clinics; provide certification and funding for. Amends 1939 PA 280 (MCL 400.1 - 400.119b) by adding sec. 109v. TIE BAR WITH: SB 1000’26 Sponsor: Sen.

Why this matters
CCBHCs are a federally-defined behavioral health clinic model that expands access to mental health and substance use services for Medicaid and uninsured populations. Codifying state-level certification and funding authority in the Social Welfare Act would establish a durable Michigan pathway for these clinics beyond demonstration-grant status, potentially affecting the safety-net behavioral health delivery system. The bill is one of a coordinated set (SB 1000/1001 and HB 6031/6032) still at introduction stage.
