Health facilities: certificate of need; allowable use of hospital swing beds; expand to include behavioral health patients. Amends sec. 134 of 1974 PA 258 (MCL 330.1134).

Summary

The bill orders the state health director to set up a comprehensive licensing framework for psychiatric hospitals and units, with separate rules for beds that serve minors. It also allows these facilities to temporarily use licensed inpatient psychiatric beds for adults or minors when needed, without altering the bed’s official classification or affecting certificate‑of‑need counts. The director must coordinate mental‑health regulations across state agencies.
