2003 House Bill 5240 ↩

House Roll Call 636: Passed

To not allow minors convicted of second-degree or third-degree criminal sexual conduct to be granted "youthful trainee" status. This status allows a person between the age of 17 and 20 who pleads guilty to a criminal offense, other than serious felonies, to serve a sentence, and then have the proceedings dismissed without having a criminal conviction record, and with no civil disability or loss of right or privilege. The bill is tie-barred to House Bill 4920, which exempts juveniles guilty of certain age-related consensual offenses from the public sex offender registry.
