The proposed bill establishes a comprehensive licensing framework for Adult Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facilities (APRTFs) in Michigan, ensuring that these facilities adhere to specific care standards regulated by the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs. It defines key terms related to APRTFs and outlines the licensing process, which includes application fees, inspections, and the issuance of various types of licenses. The bill mandates that APRTFs operate under the direction of a physician and comply with accreditation standards from recognized organizations. It also includes provisions for the denial, suspension, or revocation of licenses due to noncompliance or false information, along with an appeals process for affected facilities.

Additionally, the bill addresses the management of APRTFs by allowing for the appointment of a receiver in cases where conditions pose a substantial risk to residents. The receiver is granted specific powers, such as collecting payments and transferring residents, while the bill also establishes penalties for violations, including administrative fines. It requires the department to create rules to implement the act, focusing on operational and safety standards for APRTFs. The legislation is designed to enhance the quality of care in these facilities and ensure accountability, with the act set to take effect 90 days after enactment.
