Circuit courts in any judicial circuit may adopt or institute a swift and sure sanctions court through statute or court rule.

A swift and sure sanctions court shall carry out the purposes of the swift and sure sanctions act under chapter XIA of the code of criminal procedure (MCL 771A.1 to 771A.8).

Courts with an established swift and sure sanctions court may accept participants from other jurisdictions if the participant resides in the receiving jurisdiction or no swift and sure sanctions court exists in the charging jurisdiction.

Transfer of participants between jurisdictions requires written agreement from the defendant/respondent, their attorney, the transferring court judge and prosecutor, and the receiving court judge and prosecutor.

The bill takes effect 90 days after enactment.
