MI SB1416

Requires pretrial release agencies (PRA) funded by the state or political subdivisions to maintain a publicly viewable weekly register in the court clerk's office listing all defendants recommended for nonsecured release, including their charges, prior convictions, court dates, failure to appear history, and bench warrant status.

Mandates PRAs submit annual reports by the end of the first quarter to circuit court chief judges containing operating budget, personnel count, recommendation statistics, defendant failure-to-appear rates, bench warrant issuances, new criminal charges while on release, and percentage of budget spent assisting defendants eligible for secured release.

Prohibits PRAs from using state or political subdivision funds to comply with the registration and reporting requirements of this section.

Establishes enforcement sanctions: first violation requires PRA to submit a written compliance plan; second or subsequent violations allow the chief judge to order a show cause hearing and reduce the PRA's budget by up to 25% if the agency fails to demonstrate cause.
