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 the existing law on the "good time" credit system for prisoners in Michigan. The key provisions are:
1. Prisoners who have not been found guilty of a major misconduct in a calendar month will automatically receive a good time credit equal to the number of days in that month.
2. Prisoners' parole eligibility and discharge dates will be recalculated based on the earned good time credits, subject to the requirement that the parole eligibility date cannot be earlier than the prisoner serving at least half of their minimum sentence.
3. The bill repeals sections of the existing law related to disciplinary credits and special good time allowances, simplifying the system to focus solely on the automatic good time credits.
4. The amendments in this bill will only take effect if a related bill (Senate Bill No. ___ or House Bill No. 4468) is also enacted into law.
