A bill to amend 1927 PA 175, entitled “The code of criminal procedure,” (MCL 760.1 to 777.69) by adding section 25b to chapter IX.
House Bills 4506, 4507, and 4508 would amend different acts to provide for a process by which criminal defendants who were between 19 or 20 years of age at the time of their offense can be sentenced to imprisonment without the possibility of parole (“life without parole” or “LWOP”). The main provisions in House Bill 4506, which would add section 25b to Chapter IX (Judgement and Sentence) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, mirror those in current law prescribing the process by which criminal defendants under 18 years of age may be sentenced to LWOP.1 House Bills 4507 and 4508 update corresponding statutory references in the Public Health Code and the Michigan Penal Code, respectively.
