Summary

The legislation amends Michigan’s public health code to add hospitals that provide swing‑bed services to the definition of a “covered facility.” It also sharpens the background‑check requirements, barring facilities from hiring or granting privileges to individuals with certain convictions unless specified time periods have passed. The changes are intended to protect patients while giving a transition period for workers hired before 2006.
