MI HB5930

Establishes maximum probation periods: 2 years for misdemeanors and 5 years for felonies, with judges able to reduce or terminate felony probation after completion of 1/3 of the original period or 2 years, whichever is less.

Creates the "Probation Swift and Sure Sanctions Act" establishing a state-funded program to provide swift detection of probation violations and prompt imposition of sanctions through the swift and sure probation supervision fund.

Requires judges to inform probationers of probation requirements and potential sanctions, mandate initial in-person meetings with probation officers, and schedule hearings within 72 hours of reported violations.

Authorizes the state court administrative office to establish eligibility requirements, sanctions and remedies (including temporary incarceration, extended supervision, additional reporting, drug testing, and counseling), and deviation criteria for swift and sure probation programs.

Permits courts receiving grants to accept participants from other jurisdictions based on residency or unavailability of local programs, with transfers requiring agreement from the defendant, defense attorney, transferring judge, prosecutor, receiving judge, and receiving court's prosecutor.
