HB 5510 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Criminal procedure: sentencing; time period allowed for delayed sentencing; modify. Amends sec. 1, ch. XI of 1927 PA 175 (MCL 771.1). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5511'26

HB 5510 allows Michigan courts to delay final sentencing for up to one year (or longer for specific cases) for certain non-violent offenses, giving defendants time to participate in rehabilitation programs like drug court. It requires courts to collect supervision fees ($30-$60 per month, depending on electronic monitoring) during the delay period, with maximum limits of 12 months for most cases or 60 months for child support violations. The bill exempts juveniles in specific cases and permits courts to waive fees for indigent defendants. This modifies existing sentencing procedures to prioritize rehabilitation while adding structured financial obligations during the delay.
