SB 895: Criminal procedure: sentencing; habitual offender guidelines; modify. Amends secs. 10, 11 & 12, ch. IX of 1927 PA 175 (MCL 769.10 et seq.).

SB 895 modifies Michigan's habitual offender sentencing guidelines to adjust how prior felony convictions increase penalties for new crimes. The bill establishes three tiers based on the number of prior convictions: one prior felony can lead to a sentence up to 1.5 times the standard maximum, two prior felonies can result in a sentence up to twice the standard maximum, and three or more prior felonies can trigger a mandatory minimum of 25 years for serious crimes. These provisions apply to individuals convicted of felonies in Michigan or those that would be considered felonies if committed in the state, regardless of where the prior convictions occurred. The legislation also includes specific rules to prevent double-counting of convictions from the same incident and excludes any prior convictions that occurred more than 10 years before the new offense.
