Michigan § 400.14b - Family planning services; notice of availability, contents; referral, drugs and appliances, rules and regulations.

The director, and under his supervision, county, city and district departments of social welfare, may provide written or oral notice to recipients of public assistance of the availability of advice and treatment in family planning. Such notice shall include a statement that receipt of public assistance is in no way dependent upon a request or nonrequest for family planning services. No effort shall be made to suggest or persuade recipients to request or not request family planning services. The director, and under his supervision, county, city and district departments of social welfare may make available upon request of recipients of public assistance advice and treatment in family planning by referral upon request of the recipient to a licensed medical doctor, licensed osteopathic physician, public agency or, on a contractual basis, to a private agency of the recipient's choice. Necessary drugs and recognized medical appliances for use in family planning may also be made available through licensed pharmacists upon prescription issued by a licensed physician. Such family planning services shall be made available in accordance with rules and regulations promulgated by the director under law.
