ESCAPE FROM JUVENILE FACILITY                                   S.B. 870 (S-1): FLOOR ANALYSIS

Senate Bill 870 (Substitute S-1 as reported) Sponsor: Senator Mike Rogers Committee: Judiciary

CONTENT

The bill would amend the Michigan Penal Code to make it a felony for an individual who was placed in a “juvenile facility” to “escape” or attempt to escape from that juvenile facility or from the custody of an employee of that facility. The felony of escape from a juvenile facility would be punishable by up to four years’ imprisonment, a maximum fine of $2,000, or both.

“Escape” would mean to leave without lawful authority. “Juvenile facility” would mean a county facility, an institution operated as an agency of the county or the juvenile court, or a State institution or agency described in the Youth Rehabilitation Services Act, to which the individual had been committed under the juvenile code or the Code of Criminal Procedure.
