IN RE: SUPPORT SENATE BILL 279 - JURISDICTION AND ORGANIZATION OF PROBATE
COURT
To the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS Senate Bill 279 has been introduced in the Michigan Legislature and
is currently before the Committee on Family Law, Criminal Law and Corrections;
and
WHEREAS Senate Bill 279 will, among other things, revise and consolidate
the statutes relating to certain aspects of the organization and jurisdiction
of the probate court of this state, the powers and duties of such court, and
prescribe the powers and duties of the Juvenile Division of the Probate Court,
and the judges and other court officers thereof; and
WHEREAS Senate Bill 279 will make it lawful to try a child, who is 14 years
or older, in a court having general criminal jurisdiction of the offense, if
the act that the child is accused of would be a felony if committed by an
adult; and
WHEREAS the frequency of violent crimes being committed by young children
is cause for concern and must be considered a threat to the health, safety and
welfare of the general public; and
WHEREAS the provision of Senate Bill 279 which changes the age from 15 to
14 for which a child may be tried as an adult may serve to deter felony
activity by 14 year old children and will facilitate the removal of children
who commit violent felony acts from society; and
WHEREAS a provision of Senate Bill 279 provides the Probate Court Judges
with the authority to waive jurisdiction over proceedings involving children
aged 14 and up who are accused of committing criminal acts that would be
felonies if committed by an adult, and that this provision would be enhanced if
the local Prosecuting Attorneys were provided with the authority to bring such
cases directly before the appropriate court having general criminal
jurisdiction of the offense; and
WHEREAS Criminal Court Judges, upon completion of proceedings regarding
felony cases 1) involving defendant children aged 14 and up and 2) where a
conviction is made, may remand sentencing back to the Probate Court; however
this may lead to light sentences that do not fit the seriousness of the crime.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners
hereby supports Senate Bill 279, and recommends that the following amendments
be made:
1. Local Prosecuting Attorneys shall have the discretion of an
automatic waiver of proceedings before the Probate Court in cases
involving children aged 14 and up who are accused of committing
acts that would be felonies if committed by an adult, and that such
cases be brought before the appropriate court having general
criminal jurisdiction of the offense.
2. Sentencing must be accomplished by the court having general
criminal jurisdiction of the offense.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Board of Commissioners urges the
Legislature and Governor to adopt Senate Bill 279, with the recommended
amendments, in the best interest of the citizens of the State of Michigan.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this resolution be sent to the
Governor and Oakland County's delegation of state legislators.
I move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
