House Bill 6194 (as reported without amendment)
Sponsor:   Representative Bronna Kahle
House Committee:   Oversight
Senate Committee:   Oversight
 
CONTENT
 
The bill would amend the Public Health Code to specify that an order issued by the Director of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to avoid, correct, or remove an imminent danger to health or lives would be valid for up to 28 days unless a request from the Director to extend the order for a specific number of days was approved by resolution of both houses of the Legislature.
 
Proposed MCL 333.2251a                                                                 Legislative Analyst:   Olivia Ponte
 
FISCAL IMPACT
 
The bill would have a minor negative fiscal impact on the DHHS and no fiscal impact on local units of government. Increased costs for the Department would stem from an increase in administrative responsibilities and data reporting requirements.
