THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF MICHIGAN ENACT:
Sec. 7b. The department shall receive and record the data
provided by global positioning devices required for certain
parolees under section 36(14) and certain probationers under
section 3(1)(h) of chapter XI of the code of criminal procedure,
1927 PA 175, MCL 771.3. The department shall create and maintain a
database that shows the location of each of those parolees at any
time during the term of his or her parole. Upon request by a local,
state, or federal law enforcement agency, the department shall
provide information from the database for the purpose of
correlating a parolee's location with the location of a crime scene
under investigation. The department also shall use the database to
determine whether a parolee has violated any condition of parole
prohibiting the parolee from being in 1 or more designated areas.
Sec. 36. (1) All paroles shall be ordered by the parole board
and shall be signed by the chairperson. Written notice of the order
shall be given to the sheriff or other police officer of the
municipality or county in which the prisoner was convicted, and to
the sheriff or other local police officer of the municipality or
county to which the paroled prisoner is sent.
(2) A parole order may be amended or rescinded at the
discretion of the parole board for cause. If a paroled prisoner who

interview shall be conducted within 45 days after receiving the new
information. At least 10 days before the interview, the parolee
