A bill to amend 1939 PA 288, entitled “Probate code of 1939,” by amending section 18 of chapter XIIA (MCL 712A.18), as amended by 2022 PA 209.
Taken together, Senate Bills 119-123 would prohibit a court from sentencing an individual who was less than 19 years old when a crime was committed to imprisonment for life without parole eligibility. The bills would modify numerous penalties prescribed in the Corrections Code, the Probate Code, the Penal Code, and the Public Health Code to reflect this prohibition. In addition, the bills would make eligible for parole an individual who was less than 19 years old when a crime was committed for which the individual was sentenced to life imprisonment without parole eligibility and who had served 10 years of the sentence.
