March 16, 2004, Introduced by Rep. Howell and referred to the Committee on Judiciary.
A bill to amend 1927 PA 175, entitled
"The code of criminal procedure,"
by amending sections 1 and 3 of chapter XI (MCL 771.1 and 771.3),
section 1 as amended by 2002 PA 666 and section 3 as amended by
2003 PA 101.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
1 CHAPTER XI
2 Sec. 1. (1) In all prosecutions for felonies or
3 misdemeanors other than murder, treason, criminal sexual conduct
4 in the first or third
degree, armed robbery, and or major
5 controlled substance
offenses, not described in subsection (4),
6 if the defendant has been found guilty upon verdict or plea and
7 the court determines that the defendant is not likely again to
8 engage in an offensive or criminal course of conduct and that the
9 public good does not require that the defendant suffer the
1 penalty imposed by law, the court may place the defendant on
2 probation under the charge and supervision of a probation
3 officer.
4 (2) In an action in which the court may place the defendant
5 on probation, the court may delay sentencing the defendant for
6 not more than 1 year to give the defendant an opportunity to
7 prove to the court his or her eligibility for probation or other
8 leniency compatible with the ends of justice and the defendant's
9 rehabilitation, such as participation in a drug treatment court
10 under chapter 10A of the revised judicature act of 1961, 1961 PA
11 236, MCL 600.1060 to 600.1082. When sentencing is delayed, the
12 court shall enter an order stating the reason for the delay upon
13 the court's records. The delay in passing sentence does not
14 deprive the court of jurisdiction to sentence the defendant at
15 any time during the period of delay.
16 (3) If a defendant is before the circuit court and the court
17 delays imposing sentence under subsection (2), the court shall
18 include in the delayed sentence order that the department of
19 corrections shall collect a supervision fee of not more than
20 $135.00 multiplied by the number of months of delay ordered, but
21 not more than 12 months. The fee is payable when the delayed
22 sentence order is entered, but the fee may be paid in monthly
23 installments if the court approves installment payments for that
24 defendant. In determining the amount of the fee, the court shall
25 consider the defendant's projected income and financial
26 resources. The court shall use the following table of projected
27 monthly income in determining the amount of the fee to be
1 ordered:
2 Projected Monthly Income Amount of Fee
3 $ 0-249.99 $ 0.00
4 $ 250.00-499.99 $ 10.00
5 $ 500.00-749.99 $ 25.00
6 $ 750.00-999.99 $ 40.00
7 $1,000.00 or more 5% of projected monthly
8 income, but not more than
9 $135.00
10 The court may order a higher amount than indicated by the table,
11 up to the maximum of $135.00 multiplied by the number of months
12 of delay ordered but not more than 12 months, if the court
13 determines that the defendant has sufficient assets or other
14 financial resources to warrant the higher amount. If the court
15 orders a higher amount, the amount and the reasons for ordering
16 that amount shall be stated in the court order. The fee shall be
17 collected as provided in section 25a of the corrections code of
18 1953, 1953 PA 232, MCL 791.225a. A person shall not be subject
19 to more than 1 supervision fee at the same time. If a
20 supervision fee is ordered for a person for any month or months
21 during which that person already is subject to a supervision fee,
22 the court shall waive the fee having the shorter remaining
23 duration.
24 (4) This section does not apply to a juvenile placed on
25 probation and committed under section 1(3) or (4) of chapter IX

23 in section 4 of this chapter.
