Criminal procedure: sentencing guidelines; sentencing guideline for facility that receives or maintains an adult who requires residential psychiatric care when the facility's license has been revoked or suspended or it has refused to renew its license; enact. Amends sec. 13j, ch. XVII of 1927 PA 175 (MCL 777.13j). TIE BAR WITH: SB 0799'26

SB 800 amends Michigan's sentencing guidelines to add specific provisions for cases involving adults requiring residential psychiatric care who are placed in facilities with revoked, suspended, or unrenewed licenses. It directly affects courts and correctional facilities by establishing a new sentencing guideline (under MCL 777.13j) for such placements. The bill creates a standardized sentencing consideration when a facility loses its license but continues to house patients needing psychiatric care. This change ensures courts account for facility licensing status when determining sentences for these cases.
