SB 603 Michigan Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Corrections: parole; certain voting information on release; require department of corrections to provide. Amends secs. 34c & 35 of 1953 PA 232 (MCL 791.234c & 791.235).

SB 603 requires Michigan's Department of Corrections to help prisoners obtain essential identification documents (like driver's license or state ID requirements) before release and provide written voter registration information. This applies to all prisoners nearing parole or sentence completion who could qualify for a driver's license or state ID. The bill mandates the department to give specific details on voting eligibility, registration steps, and election dates, and to include voter information in parole reports. It also creates a dedicated "reentry success fund" to cover costs for these services.
