Committee members: Re HB 5661: I oppose the Committee’s position opposing
the legislation. I believe the idea
of convicted defendants paying to support crime victims is appropriate and
worthwhile. Re HB 5995: I oppose the Committee’s position
opposing the legislation (although the Committee’s recommended amendments
to the original bill are well taken). I believe the Juvenile system should be
more open, not less. Re case flow guidelines: I support the
Committee’s position. -----Original Message----- Committee Members: Due to our inability to reach a
quorum for Friday’s meeting of the Criminal Jurisprudence & Practice
Committee, we are requesting a e-vote on motions made and supported at this
meeting. All voting members are asked
to vote on each item and make any comments, by 12 noon on Monday, April 26, 2010.
This process requires a majority vote of a quorum of the committee’s
membership, meaning that at least 10 members must vote. Please send your votes
by hitting reply all. We request that if a member votes
against the motion on the floor, that individual might also submit a rationale
for the dissenting vote. The committee can then decide if further
discussion and an amending motion are needed. Position Recommended for

the juvenile’s fingerprints and arrest card for any assaultive, criminal
sexual conduct, delivery of a controlled substance or for an offense which
would constitute a felony if committed by an adult. The
committee requests amendment to move Line 20 from Page 5 “Section 2(a)(1)
of chapter XIIA of the probate code of 1939, 1939 PA 288, MCL 712a.2, or has
had his or her alleged juvenile offense dismissed after successfully completing
