Bill > HB5511

This bill allows courts, with the prosecutor's agreement after consulting the victim, to delay officially recording a defendant's conviction until their sentencing is finalized, provided the court finds good cause or the defendant is participating in a rehabilitation program like a specialty court. However, this delay is not permitted for certain convictions, including those eligible for delayed sentencing under specific existing laws (like those related to drug offenses or certain traffic violations that are felonies or misdemeanors under the Michigan Vehicle Code).
