     A bill to amend 1953 PA 232, entitled

 

"Corrections code of 1953,"

 

(MCL 791.201 to 791.285) by adding section 31b.

 

THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

 

     Sec. 31b. (1) The department shall submit a quarterly report

 

to the senate and house committees responsible for legislation

 

concerning corrections issues detailing the number of prisoners who

 

have reached their earliest possible release on parole date under

 

the requirements of this chapter but who have not been granted

 

parole.

 

     (2) The report required under this section must categorize the

 

total number of parole denials by the number of prisoners who have

 

been denied parole for each of the following reasons:

 

     (a) The nature and circumstances of the offense for which the

 

prisoner is incarcerated at the time of the parole consideration.

 

     (b) The prisoner's institutional program performance,

 

including whether or not the prisoner completed all required

 

programming.

 

     (c) The prisoner's institutional conduct, including the number

 

of major misconduct charges for which the prisoner has been found

 

guilty and security classification increases over the previous 5

 

years and the year immediately before parole consideration.

 

     (d) The prisoner's prior criminal record and pending criminal

 

charges or detainers. As used in this subdivision, "prior criminal

 

record" means the recorded criminal history of a prisoner,

 

including all misdemeanor and felony convictions, probation

 

violations, juvenile adjudications for acts that would have been

 

crimes if committed by an adult, parole failures, and delayed

 

sentences.

 

     (e) Whether the prisoner was previously granted parole and had

 

his or her parole revoked.

 

     (f) Whether the prisoner was identified in the federal

 

combined DNA index system (CODIS) and linked to an unsolved

 

criminal violation.

 

     (g) Other relevant factors under the parole guidelines.

 

     Enacting section 1. This amendatory act takes effect 90 days

 

after the date it is enacted into law.
