AI Summary
This bill amends the 1988 Michigan law that permits certain minors to be diverted from the court system. The key provisions include:
1) Allowing law enforcement or court intake workers to divert a minor from the court system by referring them to a person or organization that can help the minor and their family resolve the issue, as long as the minor is not accused of a "specified juvenile violation" like certain violent or sexual crimes.
2) Requiring the use of a research-based and nationally validated risk screening tool and mental health screening tool before a minor can be diverted, with some exceptions. The results of these screenings must be used to inform the diversion decision.
3) Requiring the filing of certain information with the court when a minor is diverted, including the screening results if applicable.
4) Prohibiting the use of the screening results and any information obtained during the diversion process from being used in any other proceedings against the minor.
The bill is tied to the passage of a separate bill (SB 0418) and is set to take effect on October 1, 2024.
