Bill overview
This bill amends Michigan’s penal code to allow individuals convicted of first-degree murder under specific circumstances – including murder committed with certain weapons or against peace officers – to become eligible for parole. Previously, those convicted of these crimes were ineligible for parole. The bill specifically addresses individuals convicted before November 4, 1980, under a felony-murder theory, and outlines definitions related to arson, corrections officers, major controlled substances, and peace officers. Passage is contingent on the enactment of Senate Bill 90.
