Sec. 2d. (1) In a
petition or amended petition alleging that a juvenile is within the court's
jurisdiction under section 2(a)(1) of this chapter for a specified juvenile

making a designation under this subsection shall
must be filed only by leave of
the court.
(2) In a petition alleging that a juvenile is within the
court's jurisdiction under section 2(a)(1) of this chapter for an offense other
than a specified juvenile violation, the prosecuting attorney may request that
the court designate the case as a case in which the juvenile is to be tried in
the same manner as an adult. The court may designate the case following a

determining whether the best interests of the juvenile and the public would be
served, the court shall consider all of the following factors, giving greater
weight to the seriousness of the alleged offense and the juvenile's prior
delinquency record than to the other factors:
(a) The seriousness of the alleged offense in terms of
community protection, including, but not limited to, the existence of any
aggravating factors recognized by the sentencing guidelines, the use of a
firearm or other dangerous weapon, and the impact on any victim.
(b) The juvenile's culpability in committing the alleged
offense, including, but not limited to, the level of the juvenile's

aggravating or mitigating factors recognized by the sentencing guidelines.

not limited to, any record of detention, any police record, any school record,

limited to, the juvenile's past willingness to participate meaningfully in
available programming.
(e) The adequacy of the punishment or programming available
in the juvenile justice system.
(f) The dispositional options available for the juvenile.
(3) If a case is designated under this section, the case shall must
be set for trial in the same manner as the trial of an adult in a
court of general criminal jurisdiction unless a probable cause hearing is
required under subsection (4).
(4) If the petition in a case designated under this section
alleges an offense that if committed by an adult would be a felony or
punishable by imprisonment for more than 1 year, the court shall conduct a
probable cause hearing not later than 14 days after the case is designated to
determine whether there is probable cause to believe the offense was committed
and whether there is probable cause to believe the juvenile committed the
offense. This hearing may be combined with the designation hearing under
subsection (2) for an offense other than a specified juvenile offense. A
probable cause hearing under this section is the equivalent of the preliminary
examination in a court of general criminal jurisdiction and satisfies the
requirement for that hearing. A probable cause hearing shall must
be conducted by a judge other than the judge who will try the
case if the juvenile is tried in the same manner as an adult.
(5) If the court determines there is probable cause to
believe the offense alleged in the petition was committed and probable cause to
believe the juvenile committed the offense, the case shall
must be set for trial in the same
manner as the trial of an adult in a court of general criminal jurisdiction.
(6) If the court determines that an offense did not occur or
there is not probable cause to believe the juvenile committed the offense, the
court shall dismiss the petition. If the court determines there is probable
cause to believe another offense was committed and there is probable cause to
believe the juvenile committed that offense, the court may further determine
whether the case should be designated as a case in which the juvenile should be
tried in the same manner as an adult as provided in subsection (2). If the
court designates the case, the case shall
must be set for trial in the same
manner as the trial of an adult in a court of general criminal jurisdiction.
(7) If a case is designated under this section, the
proceedings are criminal proceedings and shall
must afford all procedural
protections and guarantees to which the juvenile would be entitled if being
tried for the offense in a court of general criminal jurisdiction. A plea of
guilty or nolo contendere or a verdict of guilty shall
must result in entry of a
judgment of conviction. The conviction shall
must have the same effect and
liabilities as if it had been obtained in a court of general criminal
jurisdiction.
(8) Following a judgment of conviction, the court shall enter
a disposition or impose a sentence authorized under section 18(1)(n) 18(1)(p)
of this chapter.

mitigating factors recognized by the sentencing guidelines.
(iii) The juvenile's prior record of delinquency including, but
not limited to, any record of detention, any police record, any school record,
or any other evidence indicating prior delinquent behavior.
(iv) The juvenile's programming history, including, but not
limited to, the juvenile's past willingness to participate meaningfully in
available programming.
(v) The adequacy of the punishment or programming available in
the juvenile justice system.
(vi) The dispositional options available for the juvenile.
(p) (n) In a
proceeding under section 2(b) or (c) of this chapter, if a juvenile is removed
from the parent's custody at any time, the court shall permit the juvenile's
parent to have regular and frequent parenting time with the juvenile. Parenting
time between the juvenile and his or her parent shall not be less than 1 time
every 7 days unless the court determines either that exigent circumstances
require less frequent parenting time or that parenting time, even if
supervised, may be harmful to the juvenile's life, physical health, or mental
well-being. If the court determines that parenting time, even if supervised,
may be harmful to the juvenile's life, physical health, or mental well-being,
the court may suspend parenting time until the risk of harm no longer exists.
The court may order the juvenile to have a psychological evaluation or
counseling, or both, to determine the appropriateness and the conditions of
parenting time.
(2) An order of
disposition placing a juvenile in or committing a juvenile to care outside of
the juvenile's own home and under state, county juvenile agency, or court
supervision shall must contain
a provision for reimbursement by the juvenile, parent, guardian, or custodian
to the court for the cost of care or service. The order shall be reasonable,
taking into account both the income and resources of the juvenile, parent,
guardian, or custodian. The amount may be based upon the guidelines and model
schedule created under subsection (6). If the juvenile is receiving an adoption
assistance under sections 115f to 115m or 115t of the social welfare act, 1939
PA 280, MCL 400.115f to 400.115m and 400.115t, the amount shall must not exceed
the amount of the support subsidy. The reimbursement provision applies during
the entire period the juvenile remains in care outside of the juvenile's own
home and under state, county juvenile agency, or court supervision, unless the
juvenile is in the permanent custody of the court. The court shall provide for
the collection of all amounts ordered to be reimbursed and the money collected shall must be accounted
for and reported to the county board of commissioners. Collections to cover
delinquent accounts or to pay the balance due on reimbursement orders may be
made after a juvenile is released or discharged from care outside the
juvenile's own home and under state, county juvenile agency, or court
supervision. Twenty-five percent of all amounts collected under an order
entered under this subsection shall must be credited to the appropriate fund of the county
to offset the administrative cost of collections. The balance of all amounts
collected under an order entered under this subsection shall must be divided in
the same ratio in which the county, state, and federal government participate
in the cost of care outside the juvenile's own home and under state, county
juvenile agency, or court supervision. The court may also collect from the
government of the United States benefits paid for the cost of care of a court
ward. Money collected for juveniles placed by the court with or committed to
the department or a county juvenile agency shall must be accounted for and reported on an individual
juvenile basis. In cases of delinquent accounts, the court may also enter an
order to intercept state or federal tax refunds of a juvenile, parent,
guardian, or custodian and initiate the necessary offset proceedings in order
to recover the cost of care or service. The court shall send to the person who
is the subject of the intercept order advance written notice of the proposed
offset. The notice shall must
include notice of the opportunity to contest the offset on the grounds
that the intercept is not proper because of a mistake of fact concerning the
amount of the delinquency or the identity of the person subject to the order.
The court shall provide for the prompt reimbursement of an amount withheld in
error or an amount found to exceed the delinquent amount.
(3) An order of
disposition placing a juvenile in the juvenile's own home under subsection
(1)(b) may contain a provision for reimbursement by the juvenile, parent,
guardian, or custodian to the court for the cost of service. If an order is
entered under this subsection, an amount due shall must be determined and treated in the same manner
provided for an order entered under subsection (2).
(4) An order directed to
a parent or a person other than the juvenile is not effective and binding on
the parent or other person unless opportunity for hearing is given by issuance
of summons or notice as provided in sections 12 and 13 of this chapter and
until a copy of the order, bearing the seal of the court, is served on the
parent or other person as provided in section 13 of this chapter.
(5) If the court
appoints an attorney to represent a juvenile, parent, guardian, or custodian,
the court may require in an order entered under this section that the juvenile,
parent, guardian, or custodian reimburse the court for attorney fees.
(6) The office of the
state court administrator, under the supervision and direction of the supreme
court, shall create guidelines that the court may use in determining the
ability of the juvenile, parent, guardian, or custodian to pay for care and any
costs of service ordered under subsection (2) or (3). The guidelines shall must take into
account both the income and resources of the juvenile, parent, guardian, or
custodian.
(7) If the court finds
that a juvenile comes under section 30 of this chapter, the court shall order
the juvenile or the juvenile's parent to pay restitution as provided in
sections 30 and 31 of this chapter and in sections 44 and 45 of the William Van
Regenmorter crime victim's rights act, 1985 PA 87, MCL 780.794 and 780.795.
(8) If the court imposes
restitution as a condition of probation, the court shall require the juvenile
to do either of the following as an additional condition of probation:
(a) Engage in community
service or, with the victim's consent, perform services for the victim.
(b) Seek and maintain
paid employment and pay restitution to the victim from the earnings of that
employment.
(9) If the court finds
that the juvenile is in intentional default of the payment of restitution, a
court may, as provided in section 30 of this chapter, revoke or alter the terms
and conditions of probation for nonpayment of restitution. If a juvenile who is
ordered to engage in community service intentionally refuses to perform the
required community service, the court may revoke or alter the terms and
conditions of probation.
(10) The court shall not
enter an order of disposition for a juvenile offense as defined in section 1a
of 1925 PA 289, MCL 28.241a, or a judgment of sentence for a conviction until
the court has examined the court file and has determined that the juvenile's
biometric data have been collected and forwarded as required by section 3 of
1925 PA 289, MCL 28.243, and the juvenile's fingerprints have been taken and
forwarded as required by the sex offenders registration act, 1994 PA 295, MCL
28.721 to 28.736. If a juvenile's biometric data have not been collected or a
juvenile has not had his or her fingerprints taken, the court shall do either
of the following:
(a) Order the juvenile
to submit himself or herself to the police agency that arrested or obtained the
warrant for the juvenile's arrest so the juvenile's biometric data can be
collected and forwarded and his or her fingerprints can be taken and forwarded.
(b) Order the juvenile
committed to the sheriff's custody for collecting and forwarding the juvenile's
biometric data and taking and forwarding the juvenile's fingerprints.
(11) Upon final
disposition, conviction, acquittal, or dismissal of an offense within the
court's jurisdiction under section 2(a)(1) of this chapter, using forms
approved by the state court administrator, the clerk of the court entering the
final disposition, conviction, acquittal, or dismissal shall immediately advise
the department of state police of that final disposition, conviction,
acquittal, or dismissal as required by section 3 of 1925 PA 289, MCL 28.243.
The report to the department of state police shall must include information as to the finding of the judge
or jury and a summary of the disposition or sentence imposed.
(12) If the court enters
an order of disposition based on an act that is a juvenile offense as defined
in section 1 of 1989 PA 196, MCL 780.901, the court shall order the juvenile to
pay the assessment as provided in that act. If the court enters a judgment of
conviction under section 2d of this chapter for an offense that is a felony,
misdemeanor, or ordinance violation, the court shall order the juvenile to pay
the assessment as provided in that act.
(13) If the court has
entered an order of disposition or a judgment of conviction for a listed
offense as defined in section 2 of the sex offenders registration act, 1994 PA
295, MCL 28.722, the court, the department, or the county juvenile agency shall
register the juvenile or accept the juvenile's registration as provided in the
sex offenders registration act, 1994 PA 295, MCL 28.721 to 28.736.
(14) If the court enters
an order of disposition placing a juvenile in a juvenile boot camp program, or
committing a juvenile to a county juvenile agency for placement in a juvenile
boot camp program, and the court receives from the department a report that the
juvenile has failed to perform satisfactorily in the program, that the juvenile
does not meet the program's requirements or is medically unable to participate
in the program for more than 25 days, that there is no opening in a juvenile
boot camp program, or that the county juvenile agency is unable to place the
juvenile in a juvenile boot camp program, the court shall release the juvenile
from placement or commitment and enter an alternative order of disposition. A
juvenile shall must not
be placed in a juvenile boot camp under an order of disposition more than once,
except that a juvenile returned to the court for a medical condition, because
there was no opening in a juvenile boot camp program, or because the county
juvenile agency was unable to place the juvenile in a juvenile boot camp
program may be placed again in the juvenile boot camp program after the medical
condition is corrected, an opening becomes available, or the county juvenile
agency is able to place the juvenile.
(15) If the juvenile is
within the court's jurisdiction under section 2(a)(1) of this chapter for an
offense other than a listed offense as defined in section 2 of the sex
offenders registration act, 1994 PA 295, MCL 28.722, the court shall determine
if the offense is a violation of a law of this state or a local ordinance of a
municipality of this state that by its nature constitutes a sexual offense
against an individual who is less than 18 years of age. If so, the order of
disposition is for a listed offense as defined in section 2 of the sex
offenders registration act, 1994 PA 295, MCL 28.722, and the court shall
include the basis for that determination on the record and include the
determination in the order of disposition.
(16) The court shall not
impose a sentence of imprisonment in the county jail under subsection (1)(m)
unless the present county jail facility for the juvenile's imprisonment would meet meets all requirements
under federal law and regulations for housing juveniles. The court shall not
impose the sentence until it consults with the sheriff to determine when the
sentence will begin to ensure that space will be available for the juvenile.
(17) In a proceeding
under section 2(h) of this chapter, this section only applies to a disposition
for a violation of a personal protection order and subsequent proceedings.
(18) If a juvenile is
within the court's jurisdiction under section 2(a)(1) of this chapter, the
court shall order the juvenile to pay costs as provided in section 18m of this
chapter.
(19) A juvenile who has
been ordered to pay the minimum state cost as provided in section 18m of this
chapter as a condition of probation or supervision and who is not in willful
default of the payment of the minimum state cost may petition the court at any
time for a remission of the payment of any unpaid portion of the minimum state
cost. If the court determines that payment of the amount due will impose a
manifest hardship on the juvenile or his or her immediate family, the court may
remit all or part of the amount of the minimum state cost due or modify the
method of payment.
Sec. 18g. (1) In
addition to any other disposition under this act, a juvenile other than a
juvenile sentenced in the same manner as an adult under section 18(1)(n) 18(1)(p)

Laws.1846 RS 1, MCL 8.3t.
Sec. 18h. A
juvenile sentenced to imprisonment under section 18(1)(n)
18(1)(p) of this chapter shall
not be committed to the jurisdiction of the department of corrections. This
section does not apply if the juvenile was convicted of a specified juvenile
violation as defined in section 2d of this chapter.
Sec. 18i. (1) A
delay in sentencing does not deprive the court of jurisdiction to sentence the
juvenile under section 18(1)(m) 18(1)(o) of this chapter any time during the delay.
(2) If the court has entered an order of disposition under
section 18(1)(m) 18(1)(o)
of this chapter delaying imposition of sentence, the court shall
conduct an annual review of the probation, including but not limited to the
services being provided to the juvenile, the juvenile's placement, and the
juvenile's progress in that placement. In conducting this review, the court

facilities act, 1988 PA 73, MCL 803.223, and any report prepared upon the
court's order by the officer or agency supervising probation. The court may
order changes in the juvenile's probation based on the review including but not
limited to imposition of sentence.
(3) If the court entered an order of disposition under
section 18(1)(m) 18(1)(o)
of this chapter delaying imposition of sentence, the court shall
conduct a review hearing to determine whether the juvenile has been
rehabilitated and whether the juvenile presents a serious risk to public
safety. If the court determines that the juvenile has not been rehabilitated or
that the juvenile presents a serious risk to public safety, jurisdiction over

the juvenile facilities act, 1988 PA 73, MCL 803.225, and any report prepared
upon the court's order by the officer or agency supervising probation may be
used by the court at a review hearing held under this section.
(7) The court shall conduct a final review of the juvenile's
probation not less than 3 months before the end of the probation period. If the
court determines at this review that the best interests of the public would be
served by imposing any other sentence provided by law for an adult offender,
the court may impose the sentence. In making its determination, the court shall
consider the criteria specified in subsection (3) and all of the following
criteria:
(a) The effect of treatment on the juvenile's rehabilitation.
(b) Whether the juvenile is likely to be dangerous to the
public if released.

addresses are known, the juvenile's parent or guardian shall be notified. The
notice shall state that the court may impose a sentence upon the juvenile and
shall advise the juvenile and the juvenile's parent or guardian of the right to
legal counsel. If legal counsel has not been retained or appointed to represent
the juvenile, the court shall appoint legal counsel and may assess the cost of
providing counsel as costs against the juvenile or those responsible for the
juvenile's support, or both, if the persons to be assessed are financially able
to comply.
(9) If a juvenile placed on probation under an order of
disposition delaying imposition of sentence is found by the court to have
violated probation by being convicted of a felony or a misdemeanor punishable
by imprisonment for more than 1 year, or adjudicated as responsible for an
offense that if committed by an adult would be a felony or a misdemeanor
punishable by imprisonment for more than 1 year, the court shall revoke
probation and sentence the juvenile to imprisonment for a term that does not
exceed the penalty that could have been imposed for the offense for which the
juvenile was originally convicted and placed on probation.
