The bill amends the Michigan Code of Criminal Procedure by adding a new section, 21c, to Chapter XVI. This section allows prosecutors' offices, law enforcement agencies, and social welfare agencies to collaborate in establishing a supervision program aimed at diverting individuals suspected of possessing or using controlled substances away from criminal prosecution. The program must include substance use disorder treatment and utilize a case management system to track each case from inception to disposition. If an individual successfully completes the program, as agreed upon by the prosecutor's office and the social welfare agency, they will not face prosecution for the related violations of the public health code.

Additionally, the bill defines "social welfare agency" as a community-based organization that provides assistance to individuals in need. This legislative change aims to provide a more rehabilitative approach to substance use violations, focusing on treatment and support rather than punitive measures.
