MI HB4657

Creates a pretrial services division within the state court administrative office to certify, contract with, and oversee pretrial services agencies in each judicial circuit.

Requires the division to develop certification criteria, maintain a public list of certified agencies by circuit, establish performance measures, and collect and publish annual data on case outcomes by April 30 each year.

Mandates pretrial services agencies be public entities or nonprofit organizations under contract to counties or municipalities; prohibits private for-profit entities from providing pretrial services.

Requires agencies to conduct individualized needs assessments for defendants and provide evidence-based voluntary supportive services including text reminders, transportation assistance, child care, and housing/employment resources; limits supervision to text, phone, or video check-ins unless court determines significant liberty restraint is necessary.

Takes effect 2 years after enactment; agencies must file annual reports by January 30 containing performance data disaggregated by service type, rearrest rates, failure to appear information, and staff-to-defendant ratios.
