JUVENILE LINEUPS S.B. 697 (S-1): FLOOR ANALYSIS
Senate Bill 697 (Substitute S-1 as reported) Sponsor: Senator Walter H. North Committee: Judiciary
The bill would amend the juvenile code to provide that, if a complaint or petition were filed with the juvenile division of probate court (juvenile court) against a child for violating a State or local criminal law, the juvenile court could, at the request of the person or entity submitting the complaint or petition, order the child to appear at a designated place and time for identification by another person. Identification under the bill could include identification in a corporeal lineup (i.e., a physical lineup of bodies).
If the juvenile court ordered identification proceedings under the bill, the court would have to notify the child and his or her parent, guardian, or custodian that he or she had the right to consult an attorney and to have an attorney present during the identification proceedings. If the child and his or her parent, guardian, or custodian could not afford an attorney but requested one, the juvenile court would have to appoint an attorney to represent the child.
Proposed MCL 712A.32 Legislative Analyst: P. Affholter
There would be no fiscal impact because the procedures outlined in the bill are currently executed in juvenile court.
Date Completed: 12-1-95 Fiscal Analyst: M. Bain
