The bill amends the Corrections Code of 1953 by modifying Section 33b, which outlines the eligibility for parole for individuals convicted of specific crimes. It specifies that, with the exception of prisoners granted parole under section 35(10), individuals convicted of certain offenses are not eligible for parole until they have served their minimum term, minus any disciplinary credits. The bill lists various sections of the Michigan Penal Code that pertain to these offenses, including but not limited to sections related to homicide, sexual offenses, and drug-related crimes.
Additionally, the bill makes several changes to the language used in the law, such as replacing "Section" with "Former section" in certain instances and clarifying references to the Michigan Penal Code. It also includes a provision stating that the amendatory act will not take effect unless House Bill No. 5653 is enacted into law. Overall, the bill aims to clarify and update the legal framework surrounding parole eligibility for specific serious offenses in Michigan.
