Re: Support SB 947 Authorizing Probate Courts to Assess Fines and Costs in
Juvenile Offenses
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, Probate Courts lack sufficient authority to assess fines
and costs in traffic matters and other offenses; and
WHEREAS, the Probate Courts need specific authority to enforce
collection of reimbursable costs for all services provided in order to
maximize revenue to the courts; and
WHEREAS, SB 947 amends the Juvenile Code to authorize sufficient
and specific authority to the Probate Court to assess and collect fines; and
WHEREAS, the Michigan Probate Judges Association has unanimously
adopted a resolution supporting the authority to levy fines and costs and
this authority is incorporated in SB 947.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners agrees with the concept of holding youth and families
accountable for unlawful acts and supports SB 947.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to
all State Legislators from Oakland County, the Michigan Association of
Counties and to the County's Legislative Agent.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the General Government Committee, I
move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
