HB 4160 Michigan House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

Corrections: parole; parole of certain offenders less than 19 at time of conviction; provide for under certain circumstances. Amends sec. 34 of 1953 PA 232 (MCL 791.234). TIE BAR WITH: HB 4161'23, HB 4162'23, HB 4163'23, HB 4164'23

This bill amends Michigan's corrections code to clarify the rules for when prisoners become eligible for parole, specifically addressing how time served is calculated for those with consecutive sentences or those subject to disciplinary time. It maintains existing restrictions by denying parole eligibility to individuals convicted of serious crimes such as first-degree murder and certain sexual offenses, while allowing the parole board to consider releasing other life sentence prisoners after serving 10 to 20 years depending on when the crime was committed. The legislation also specifies that discharge for these prisoners can only occur after they have served the full maximum term of their sentence, unless they are granted parole and successfully complete the parole period.
