THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:

1                              CHAPTER XIIA                                     

2       Sec. 18.  (1) If the court finds that a juvenile concerning                 

3   whom a petition is filed is not within this chapter, the court              

4   shall enter an order dismissing the petition.  Except as                    

5   otherwise provided in subsection (10), if the court finds that a            

6   juvenile is within this chapter, the court may enter any of the             

7   following orders of disposition that are appropriate for the                

8   welfare of the juvenile and society in view of the facts proven             

9   and ascertained:                                                            

10      (a) Warn the juvenile or the juvenile's parents, guardian, or               

1   custodian and, except as provided in subsection (7), dismiss the            

2   petition.                                                                   

3       (b) Place the juvenile on probation, or under supervision in                

4   the juvenile's own home or in the home of an adult who is related           

5   to the juvenile.  As used in this subdivision, "related" means              

6   being a parent, grandparent, brother, sister, stepparent,                   

7   stepsister, stepbrother, uncle, or aunt by marriage, blood, or              

8   adoption.  The court shall order the terms and conditions of                

9   probation or supervision, including reasonable rules for the                

10  conduct of the parents, guardian, or custodian, if any, as the              

11  court determines necessary for the physical, mental, or moral               

12  well-being and behavior of the juvenile.  The court also shall              

13  order, as a condition of probation or supervision, that the                 

14  juvenile shall pay the minimum state cost prescribed by section             

15  18m of this chapter.

16      (c) If a juvenile is within the court's jurisdiction under                  

17  section 2(a) of this chapter, or under section 2(h) of this                 

18  chapter for a supplemental petition, place the juvenile in a                

19  suitable foster care home subject to the court's supervision.  If           

20  a juvenile is within the court's jurisdiction under section 2(b)            

21  of this chapter, the court shall not place a juvenile in a foster           

22  care home subject to the court's supervision.                               

23      (d) Except as otherwise provided in this subdivision, place                 

24  the juvenile in or commit the juvenile to a private institution             

25  or agency approved or licensed by the department of consumer and            

26  industry services for the care of juveniles of similar age, sex,            

27  and characteristics.  If the juvenile is not a ward of the court,           

1   the court shall commit the juvenile to the family independence              

2   agency or, if the county is a county juvenile agency, to that               

3   county juvenile agency for placement in or commitment to such an            

4   institution or agency as the family independence agency or county           

5   juvenile agency determines is most appropriate, subject to any              

6   initial level of placement the court designates.                            

7       (e) Except as otherwise provided in this subdivision, commit                

8   the juvenile to a public institution, county facility,                      

9   institution operated as an agency of the court or county, or                

10  agency authorized by law to receive juveniles of similar age,               

11  sex, and characteristics.  If the juvenile is not a ward of the             

12  court, the court shall commit the juvenile to the family                    

13  independence agency or, if the county is a county juvenile                  

14  agency, to that county juvenile agency for placement in or                  

15  commitment to such an institution or facility as the family                 

16  independence agency or county juvenile agency determines is most            

17  appropriate, subject to any initial level of placement the court            

18  designates.  If a child is not less than 17 years of age and is             

19  in violation of a personal protection order, the court may commit           

20  the child to a county jail within the adult prisoner population.            

21  In a placement under subdivision (d) or a commitment under this             

22  subdivision, except to a state institution or a county juvenile             

23  agency institution, the juvenile's religious affiliation shall be           

24  protected by placement or commitment to a private child-placing             

25  or child-caring agency or institution, if available.  Except for            

26  commitment to the family independence agency or a county juvenile           

27  agency, an order of commitment under this subdivision to a state            

1   institution or agency described in the youth rehabilitation                 

2   services act, 1974 PA 150, MCL 803.301 to 803.309, or in 1935               

3   PA 220, MCL 400.201 to 400.214, the court shall name the                    

4   superintendent of the institution to which the juvenile is                  

5   committed as a special guardian to receive benefits due the                 

6   juvenile from the government of the United States.  An order of             

7   commitment under this subdivision to the family independence                

8   agency or a county juvenile agency shall name that agency as a              

9   special guardian to receive those benefits.  The benefits                   

10  received by the special guardian shall be used to the extent                

11  necessary to pay for the portions of the cost of care in the                

12  institution or facility that the parent or parents are found                

13  unable to pay.                                                              

14      (f) Provide the juvenile with medical, dental, surgical, or                 

15  other health care, in a local hospital if available, or                     

16  elsewhere, maintaining as much as possible a local                          

17  physician-patient relationship, and with clothing and other                 

18  incidental items the court determines are necessary.                        

19      (g) Order the parents, guardian, custodian, or any other                    

20  person to refrain from continuing conduct that the court                    

21  determines has caused or tended to cause the juvenile to come               

22  within or to remain under this chapter or that obstructs                    

23  placement or commitment of the juvenile by an order under this              

24  section.                                                                    

25      (h) Appoint a guardian under section 5204 of the estates and                

26  protected individuals code, 1998 PA 386, MCL 700.5204, in                   

27  response to a petition filed with the court by a person                     

1   interested in the juvenile's welfare.  If the court appoints a              

2   guardian as authorized by this subdivision, it may dismiss the              

3   petition under this chapter.                                                

4       (i) Order the juvenile to engage in community service.                      

5       (j) If the court finds that a juvenile has violated a                       

6   municipal ordinance or a state or federal law, order the juvenile           

7   to pay a civil fine in the amount of the civil or penal fine                

8   provided by the ordinance or law.  Money collected from fines               

9   levied under this subsection shall be distributed as provided in            

10  section 29 of this chapter.                                                 

11  (k) Order the juvenile to pay court costs.  Money collected                 

12  from costs ordered under this subsection shall be distributed as            

13  provided in section 29 of this chapter.

14  (k)  (l)  If a juvenile is within the court's jurisdiction                  

15  under section 2(a)(1) of this chapter, order the juvenile's                 

16  parent or guardian to personally participate in treatment                   

17  reasonably available in the parent's or guardian's location.                

18  (l)  (m)  If a juvenile is within the court's jurisdiction                           

19  under section 2(a)(1) of this chapter, place the juvenile in and            

20  order the juvenile to complete satisfactorily a program of                  

21  training in a juvenile boot camp established by the family                  

22  independence agency under the juvenile boot camp act, 1996                  

23  PA 263, MCL 400.1301 to 400.1309, as provided in that act.  If              

24  the county is a county juvenile agency, however, the court shall            

25  commit the juvenile to that county juvenile agency for placement            

26  in the program under that act.  Upon receiving a report of                  

27  satisfactory completion of the program from the family                      

1   independence agency, the court shall authorize the juvenile's               

2   release from placement in the juvenile boot camp.  Following                

3   satisfactory completion of the juvenile boot camp program, the              

4   juvenile shall complete an additional period of not less than 120           

5   days or more than 180 days of intensive supervised community                

6   reintegration in the juvenile's local community.  To place or               

7   commit a juvenile under this subdivision, the court shall                   

8   determine all of the following:                                             

9                                                                                (i) Placement in a juvenile boot camp will benefit the                              

10  juvenile.                                                                   

11      (ii) The juvenile is physically able to participate in the                   

12  program.                                                                    

13      (iii) The juvenile does not appear to have any mental                        

14  handicap that would prevent participation in the program.                   

15      (iv) The juvenile will not be a danger to other juveniles in                 

16  the boot camp.                                                              

17      (v) There is an opening in a juvenile boot camp program.                    

18      (vi) If the court must commit the juvenile to a county                       

19  juvenile agency, the county juvenile agency is able to place the            

20  juvenile in a juvenile boot camp program.                                   

21  (m)  (n)  If the court entered a judgment of conviction under               

22  section 2d of this chapter, enter any disposition under this                

23  section or, if the court determines that the best interests of              

24  the public would be served, impose any sentence upon the juvenile           

25  that could be imposed upon an adult convicted of the offense for            

26  which the juvenile was convicted.  If the juvenile is convicted             

27  of a violation or conspiracy to commit a violation of section               

1   7403(2)(a)(i) of the public health code, 1978 PA 368, MCL                   

2   333.7403, the court may impose the alternative sentence permitted           

3   under that section if the court determines that the best                    

4   interests of the public would be served.  The court may delay               

5   imposing a sentence of imprisonment under this subdivision for a            

6   period not longer than the period during which the court has                

7   jurisdiction over the juvenile under this chapter by entering an            

8   order of disposition delaying imposition of sentence and placing            

9   the juvenile on probation upon the terms and conditions it                  

10  considers appropriate, including any disposition under this                 

11  section.  If the court delays imposing sentence under this                  

12  section, section 18i of this chapter applies.  If the court                 

13  imposes sentence, it shall enter a judgment of sentence.  If the            

14  court imposes a sentence of imprisonment, the juvenile shall                

15  receive credit against the sentence for time served before                  

16  sentencing.  In determining whether to enter an order of                    

17  disposition or impose a sentence under this subdivision, the                

18  court shall consider all of the following factors, giving greater           

19  weight to the seriousness of the offense and the juvenile's prior           

20  record:                                                                     

21                                                                               (i) The seriousness of the offense in terms of community                            

22  protection, including, but not limited to, the existence of any             

23  aggravating factors recognized by the sentencing guidelines, the            

24  use of a firearm or other dangerous weapon, and the impact on any           

25  victim.                                                                     

26      (ii) The juvenile's culpability in committing the offense,                   

27  including, but not limited to, the level of the juvenile's                  

1   participation in planning and carrying out the offense and the              

2   existence of any aggravating or mitigating factors recognized by            

3   the sentencing guidelines.                                                  

4       (iii) The juvenile's prior record of delinquency including,                  

5   but not limited to, any record of detention, any police record,             

6   any school record, or any other evidence indicating prior                   

7   delinquent behavior.                                                        

8       (iv) The juvenile's programming history, including, but not                  

9   limited to, the juvenile's past willingness to participate                  

10  meaningfully in available programming.                                      

11      (v) The adequacy of the punishment or programming available                 

12  in the juvenile justice system.                                             

13      (vi) The dispositional options available for the juvenile.                   

14      (2) An order of disposition placing a juvenile in or                        

15  committing a juvenile to care outside of the juvenile's own home            

16  and under state, county juvenile agency, or court supervision               

17  shall contain a provision for reimbursement by the juvenile,                

18  parent, guardian, or custodian to the court for the cost of care            

19  or service.  The order shall be reasonable, taking into account             

20  both the income and resources of the juvenile, parent, guardian,            

21  or custodian.  The amount may be based upon the guidelines and              

22  model schedule created under subsection (6).  If the juvenile is            

23  receiving an adoption support subsidy under sections 115f to                

24  115l 115m of the social welfare act, 1939 PA 280, MCL 400.115f            

25  to  400.115l 400.115m, the amount shall not exceed the amount of           

26  the support subsidy.  The reimbursement provision applies during            

27  the entire period the juvenile remains in care outside of the               

1   juvenile's own home and under state, county juvenile agency, or             

2   court supervision, unless the juvenile is in the permanent                  

3   custody of the court.  The court shall provide for the collection           

4   of all amounts ordered to be reimbursed and the money collected             

5   shall be accounted for and reported to the county board of                  

6   commissioners.  Collections to cover delinquent accounts or to              

7   pay the balance due on reimbursement orders may be made after a             

8   juvenile is released or discharged from care outside the                    

9   juvenile's own home and under state, county juvenile agency, or             

10  court supervision.  Twenty-five percent of all amounts collected            

11  under an order entered under this subsection shall be credited to           

12  the appropriate fund of the county to offset the administrative             

13  cost of collections.  The balance of all amounts collected under            

14  an order entered under this subsection shall be divided in the              

15  same ratio in which the county, state, and federal government               

16  participate in the cost of care outside the juvenile's own home             

17  and under state, county juvenile agency, or court supervision.              

18  The court may also collect from the government of the United                

19  States benefits paid for the cost of care of a court ward.  Money           

20  collected for juveniles placed by the court with or committed to            

21  the family independence agency or a county juvenile agency shall            

22  be accounted for and reported on an individual juvenile basis.              

23  In cases of delinquent accounts, the court may also enter an                

24  order to intercept state or federal tax refunds of a juvenile,              

25  parent, guardian, or custodian and initiate the necessary offset            

26  proceedings in order to recover the cost of care or service.  The           

27  court shall send to the person who is the subject of the                    

1   intercept order advance written notice of the proposed offset.              

2   The notice shall include notice of the opportunity to contest the           

3   offset on the grounds that the intercept is not proper because of           

4   a mistake of fact concerning the amount of the delinquency or the           

5   identity of the person subject to the order.  The court shall               

6   provide for the prompt reimbursement of an amount withheld in               

7   error or an amount found to exceed the delinquent amount.                   

8       (3) An order of disposition placing a juvenile in the                       

9   juvenile's own home under subsection (1)(b) may contain a                   

10  provision for reimbursement by the juvenile, parent, guardian, or           

11  custodian to the court for the cost of service.  If an order is             

12  entered under this subsection, an amount due shall be determined            

13  and treated in the same manner provided for an order entered                

14  under subsection (2).                                                       

15      (4) An order directed to a parent or a person other than the                

16  juvenile is not effective and binding on the parent or other                

17  person unless opportunity for hearing is given by issuance of               

18  summons or notice as provided in sections 12 and 13 of this                 

19  chapter and until a copy of the order, bearing the seal of the              

20  court, is served on the parent or other person as provided in               

21  section 13 of this chapter.                                                 

22      (5) If the court appoints an attorney to represent a                        

23  juvenile, parent, guardian, or custodian, the court may require             

24  in an order entered under this section that the juvenile, parent,           

25  guardian, or custodian reimburse the court for attorney fees.               

26      (6) The office of the state court administrator, under the                  

27  supervision and direction of the supreme court and in                       

1   consultation with the family independence agency and the Michigan           

2   probate judges association, shall create guidelines and a model             

3   schedule the court may use in determining the ability of the                

4   juvenile, parent, guardian, or custodian to pay for care and any            

5   costs of service ordered under subsection (2) or (3).  The                  

6   guidelines and model schedule shall take into account both the              

7   income and resources of the juvenile, parent, guardian, or                  

8   custodian.                                                                  

9       (7) If the court finds that a juvenile comes under section 30               

10  of this chapter, the court shall order the juvenile or the                  

11  juvenile's parent to pay restitution as provided in sections 30             

12  and 31 of this chapter and in sections 44 and 45 of the crime               

13  victim's rights act, 1985 PA 87, MCL 780.794 and 780.795.                   

14      (8) If the court imposes restitution as a condition of                      

15  probation, the court shall require the juvenile to do either of             

16  the following as an additional condition of probation:                      

17      (a) Engage in community service or, with the victim's                       

18  consent, perform services for the victim.                                   

19      (b) Seek and maintain paid employment and pay restitution to                

20  the victim from the earnings of that employment.                            

21      (9) If the court finds that the juvenile is in intentional                  

22  default of the payment of restitution, a court may, as provided             

23  in section 31 of this chapter, revoke or alter the terms and                

24  conditions of probation for nonpayment of restitution.  If a                

25  juvenile who is ordered to engage in community service                      

26  intentionally refuses to perform the required community service,            

27  the court may revoke or alter the terms and conditions of                   

1   probation.                                                                  

2       (10) The court shall not enter an order of disposition for a                

3   juvenile offense as defined in section 1a of 1925 PA 289, MCL               

4   28.241a, or a judgment of sentence for a conviction until the               

5   court has examined the court file and has determined that the               

6   juvenile's fingerprints have been taken and forwarded as required           

7   by section 3 of 1925 PA 289, MCL 28.243, and as required by the             

8   sex offenders registration act, 1994 PA 295, MCL 28.721 to                  

9   28.732.  If a juvenile has not had his or her fingerprints taken,           

10  the court shall do either of the following:                                 

11      (a) Order the juvenile to submit himself or herself to the                  

12  police agency that arrested or obtained the warrant for the                 

13  juvenile's arrest so the juvenile's fingerprints can be taken and           

14  forwarded.                                                                  

15      (b) Order the juvenile committed to the sheriff's custody for               

16  taking and forwarding the juvenile's fingerprints.                          

17      (11) Upon final disposition, conviction, acquittal, or                      

18  dismissal of an offense within the court's jurisdiction under               

19  section 2(a)(1) of this chapter, using forms approved by the                

20  state court administrator, the clerk of the court entering the              

21  final disposition, conviction, acquittal, or dismissal shall                

22  immediately advise the department of state police of that final             

23  disposition, conviction, acquittal, or dismissal as required by             

24  section 3 of 1925 PA 289, MCL 28.243.  The report to the                    

25  department of state police shall include information as to the              

26  finding of the judge or jury and a summary of the disposition or            

27  sentence imposed.                                                           

1       (12) If the court enters an order of disposition based on an                

2   act that is a juvenile offense as defined in section 1 of 1989              

3   PA 196, MCL 780.901, the court shall order the juvenile to pay              

4   the assessment as provided in that act.  If the court enters a              

5   judgment of conviction under section 2d of this chapter for an              

6   offense that is a felony, serious misdemeanor, or specified                 

7   misdemeanor as defined in section 1 of 1989 PA 196, MCL 780.901,            

8   the court shall order the juvenile to pay the assessment as                 

9   provided in that act.                                                       

10      (13) If the court has entered an order of disposition or a                  

11  judgment of conviction for a listed offense as defined in section           

12  2 of the sex offenders registration act, 1994 PA 295, MCL 28.722,           

13  the court, the family independence agency, or the county juvenile           

14  agency shall register the juvenile or accept the juvenile's                 

15  registration as provided in the sex offenders registration act,
