THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 8d. (1) An individual who petitions the court under

 

section 8c to register as provided in this section shall register

 

under this act as follows:

 

     (a) For a violation described in section 8c(15)(a) or (b), the

 

individual shall register under this act until the petition is

 

granted but is not subject to the requirements of section 8(2).

 

     (b) For a violation described in section 8c(15)(c) and for

 

which the petition is granted, the individual shall register under

 


this act for a period of 10 years after the date he or she

 

initially registered or, if the individual was in a state

 

correctional facility, for 10 years after he or she is released

 

from that facility, whichever is greater, and but is not subject to

 

the requirements of section 8(2) during that registration period.

 

     (2) If the court under section 8c orders an individual to

 

register under this section pending the court's determination of

 

the petition, the court shall promptly provide a copy of that order

 

to the department and to the individual. If the department is

 

provided with an order under this subsection for an individual

 

described in section 8c(15)(a) or (b), the department shall not

 

enter the individual's registration into the database maintained

 

under section 8(2) until ordered by the court to do so or until

 

expiration of the order, whichever occurs first.

 

     (3) If the court grants a petition filed under section 8c, the

 

court shall promptly provide a copy of that order to the department

 

and to the individual. If the department is provided with an order

 

under this subsection for a violation described in section

 

8c(15)(a) or (b), the department shall not enter the individual's

 

registration into the database maintained under section 8(2) or, if

 

the person is already registered, shall promptly remove that

 

registration from the database maintained under section 8(2). The

 

department shall promptly remove an individual's registration from

 

the database maintained under section 8(1) upon expiration of the

 

applicable registration period described in subsection (1) or (2)

 

as provided in those subsections.
