Snyder signs bill expanding age-appropriate treatment options for juvenile offenders
Judges will have greater flexibility to find more age-appropriate penalties for young offenders that could enhance and expedite rehabilitation under legislation signed today by Gov. Rick Snyder.
“Reinventing Michigan’s criminal justice system is critically important, and this bill helps our judicial leaders assess penalties for juvenile offenders in a way that will hopefully lead to better long-term rehabilitation outcomes for our young people,” Snyder said.
Senate Bill 251, sponsored by state Sen. John Proos, expands diversion opportunities for juveniles in the criminal justice system to more quickly direct them to treatment services. It also gives judges the flexibility to find more age-appropriate penalties for young offenders that could enhance and expedite rehabilitation.
Snyder also signed six additional bills.
