MICHIGAN SETS
EXAMPLE WITH
new Tb CODE

Michigan's new law covering the
care and treatment of persons suf-
fering from tuberculosis was
termed the most gratifying adj
vance in tuberculosis codes any,
where in the country" by Curtis
NJ. Wylie of Grand Rapids, presi-
dent Of the Michigan tuberculosis
association. Gov. Harry F. Kelly
signed the bill last week.
Mr.. Wylie said that Michigan
laws have been copied in the past
because Of their advanced think
Ing and that already other states
are writing for copies Of this
latest law.
THREE PROVISIONS in the new
law are unusual. Mr.. Wylie pointed
out: For the first time in the states
history, treatment of the tubercu-
losis is defined as protection of the
public health rather than a form Of
welfare or relief.
The state health commissioner or
local health officials, rather than
local relief or welfare agencies, are
empowered TO arrange for the care
and treatment of persons having
tuberculosis.
The third progressive feature of
the bill is that it provides that the
expenses of those hospitalized un-
der the new law shall be paid by
the county of which the patient Is
a legal resident.
Patients honorably discharged
from the armed services and no.
otherwise hospitalized, or persons
who do not have legal residence in
a county for the required period Of
time. Mr.. Wylie pointed out, are
considered residents of the state
at large and the cost of their treat
ment and disqualification will be
paid by the state after approval by
the state commissioner of health.
