2007 House Bill 4262

Revise prison time off for good behavior

Introduced in the House

Feb. 13, 2007

Introduced by Rep. George Cushingberry (D-8)

To revise provisions giving prisoners good behavior “credits” that are considered at parole hearings, and recalculate the release and parole eligibility dates accordingly. This would allow earlier releases for some prisoners, within the context of Michigan's "truth in sentencing" laws.

Referred to the Committee on Judiciary

Where the bill remains. In other words, there has been no further action on the bill since it was referred to this committee. Whether a committee takes up a bill is at the discretion of the committee chair, in this case Rep. Paul Condino, D-Southfield.
