The bill amends the Public Health Code by adding a new part, 58B, which focuses on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD). It defines key terms such as "Early on Michigan," which refers to a program administered by the Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential, and provides a comprehensive definition of FASD, encompassing various diagnoses and effects resulting from prenatal alcohol exposure.

Additionally, the bill mandates that health professionals responsible for the care of infants diagnosed with FASD must refer the infant's parent or guardian to the Early On Michigan program for further support. The Department of Health, in collaboration with the Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential, is also authorized to create rules to facilitate the implementation of this new part.
