Bill Summary

A bill to amend 1893 PA 118, entitled"An act to revise and consolidate the laws relative to state prisons, to state houses of correction, and branches of state prisons and reformatories, and the government and discipline thereof and to repeal all acts inconsistent therewith,"by amending section 33 (MCL 800.33), as amended by 1999 PA 148; and to repeal acts and parts of acts.

AI Summary

This bill amends Michigan's 1893 law on state prisons and reformatories by restoring "good time credits" for prisoners. It requires the Department of Corrections to grant prisoners one day of good time credit for each day served in a calendar month, unless the prisoner was found guilty of a major misconduct that month. The bill also requires the Department to recalculate parole eligibility and discharge dates for eligible prisoners currently serving sentences. Additionally, it repeals sections of the existing law related to disciplinary credits and special good time allowances. The bill is contingent on the enactment of another related legislative bill.
