MI HB5320

Amends Section 6a of the Youth Rehabilitation Services Act to require facilities housing public wards to immediately notify law enforcement when a ward escapes or fails to return to custody.

Notification requirements vary by location: police departments for escapes in cities, villages, or townships with police; otherwise sheriff departments or state police posts having jurisdiction over the area.

Requires police agencies receiving escape notifications to enter the information into the law enforcement information network without undue delay.

Defines "escape" as leaving without lawful authority or failing to return to custody when required.

Takes effect 90 days after enactment and is contingent upon passage of House Bill 5317 or Senate Bill (number not specified).
