The bill amends the Overdose Fatality Review Act by updating definitions and clarifying terms related to overdose reviews and prevention strategies. Key insertions include the definition of "community overdose review," which involves a series of individual overdose reviews aimed at identifying barriers to effective prevention and intervention strategies within communities. Additionally, the bill introduces the term "substance use disorder treatment provider," which refers to individuals or entities licensed or exempt from licensure in Michigan to treat substance use disorders with FDA-approved medications.
Furthermore, the bill specifies the roles of various professionals involved in mental health and substance use treatment, including psychologists, licensed counselors, and recovery coaches. It also establishes the concept of a "multidisciplinary team" and an "overdose fatality review team," which will be responsible for conducting individual overdose reviews. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of House Bill No. 5729.
