IN RE: BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS/COMMUNITY MENTAL HEALTH • AMENDMENT TO THE
MICHIGAN MENTAL HEALTH CODE, SECTION 306
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS a package of amendments to the Michigan Mental Health Code has
been introduced in the Legislature and is currently under consideration; and
WHEREAS section 306 of the Mental Health Code is proposed to be amended
to define a recipient's county of residence for purposes of financial
responsibility for mental health services as "the county in which the
individual maintained his or her primary place of residence at the time he or
she entered...a dependent living setting, a boarding school, [or] a facility";
and
WHEREAS this new language, although ambiguous, proports to maintain a
financial linkage for a recipient to a county in which he or she once lived,
even if the recipient has chosen to relocate and live in a general foster care
home, nursing home or other "dependent" setting in another county • a linkage
that does not respect consumers' freedom of choice and control over their own
lives.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners opposes the proposed changes in section 306 and recommends that
the section read as follows:
"For the purpose of section 302, an individual's county of
residence is the county in which the individual maintained his or
her primary place of residence at the time he or she entered one of
the following:
(a) a licensed foster care facility, supported independence
program or similar dependent living setting under contract
with the Department or a Community Mental Health Services
program, provided that the placement in such dependent living
setting was made with the written agreement of the original
county of residence;
(b) a licensed Child Caring Institution, provided that the
individual's placement was funded by the original county of
residence; or
(c) an inpatient psychiatric facility operated by, or under
contract with, the Department or a Community Mental Health
Services program, provided that the hospitalization was with
the written agreement of the original county of residence.
If an individual is maintaining a primary place of residence in a
county other than the county of residence determined by application
of subsections (a) through (c) herein, the individual may, by
written statement at any time, terminate his or her relationship
with the original county of residence as established by this
section. In such a case the individual's county of residence for
the purpose of section 302 shall become that county in which the
individual currently maintains his or her primary place of
residence."
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that certified copies of this resolution be
forwarded to the Governor, Oakland County•s state legislative delegation, the
Michigan Association of Counties and all Michigan Boards of Commissioners.
Chairperson, on behalf of the Health and Human Services Committee, I move
the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
