A bill to amend 1893 PA 118, entitled “An act to revise and consolidate the laws relative to state prisons, to state houses of correction, and branches of state prisons and reformatories, and the government and discipline thereof and to repeal all acts inconsistent therewith,” by amending section 34 (MCL 800.34), as amended by 1998 PA 316.
Proposes changes to section 34 of the act, detailing how disciplinary time is assigned for major misconducts, considered by the parole board, and potentially reduced for exemplary behavior. It specifies that accumulated disciplinary time cannot extend a prisoner's sentence beyond the maximum limit and outlines the consideration process for prisoners with concurrent or consecutive sentences.
