Requiring that a conference be held with the minor, their parent/guardian, and law enforcement/court intake to consider alternatives to filing a petition, and informing them of their rights and the diversion process. 2. Placing a 3-month limit on the completion of diversion terms, unless a longer period is documented as necessary for the minor to complete a specific treatment program. 3. Requiring law enforcement/court intake to file information about the diversion with the court, including the time period for completing the diversion and any determination of a longer period. 4. Requiring law enforcement/court intake to file information with the court if a diversion agreement is revoked. Overall, the bill aims to standardize and provide more oversight over the juvenile diversion process in Michigan.
