MI SB0094

Allows courts to defer proceedings and place first-time drug offenders on probation without entering a guilt judgment for possession or use of controlled substances or imitation controlled substances.

Upon successful completion of probation terms and conditions, the court shall discharge the individual and dismiss proceedings without adjudication of guilt, and this shall not count as a conviction for purposes of disqualifications or disabilities.

Requires the Department of State Police to maintain a nonpublic record of arrests, court proceedings, and dispositions that is accessible to courts, law enforcement, prosecutors, and the Department of Human Services for specified purposes.

Permits the Michigan Commission on Law enforcement Standards to access these nonpublic records to determine licensure eligibility, license revocation, admission to training academies, and waiver eligibility for law enforcement officers.

Effective date is January 2, 2017, contingent upon the enactment of Senate Bill No. 92 of the 98th Legislature.
