Pursuant to Joint Rule 20, the full title of the act shall be inserted to read as follows:

"An act to revise, consolidate, and codify the laws relating to criminal procedure and to define the jurisdiction, powers, and duties of courts, judges, and other officers of the court under the provisions of this act; to provide laws relative to the rights of persons accused of criminal offenses and ordinance violations; to provide for the arrest of persons charged with or suspected of criminal offenses and ordinance violations; to provide for bail of persons arrested for or accused of criminal offenses and ordinance violations; to provide for the examination of persons accused of criminal offenses; to regulate the procedure relative to grand juries, indictments, informations, and proceedings before trial; to provide for trials of persons complained of or indicted for criminal offenses and ordinance violations and to provide for the procedure in those trials; to provide for judgments and sentences of persons convicted of criminal offenses and ordinance violations; to establish a sentencing commission and to prescribe its powers and duties; to provide for procedure relating to new trials and appeals in criminal and ordinance violation cases; to provide a uniform system of probation throughout this state and the appointment of probation officers; to prescribe the powers, duties, and compensation of probation officers; to provide penalties for the violation of the duties of probation officers; to provide for procedure governing proceedings to prevent crime and proceedings for the discovery of crime; to provide for fees of officers, witnesses, and others in criminal and ordinance violation cases; to set forth miscellaneous provisions as to criminal procedure in certain cases; to provide penalties for the violation of certain provisions of this act; and to repeal all acts and parts of acts inconsistent with or contravening any of the provisions of this act,".

The House agreed to the full title.

Rep. Raczkowski moved that the bill be given immediate effect.

The motion prevailed, 2/3 of the members serving voting therefor.

Rep. Brater, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on this bill because it appears on its face to be unconstitutional, interfering with the constitutional autonomy of the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, Wayne State University under Article VIII § 6 and of community and junior colleges under Article VIII § 7. This bill serves a court discretion to decide who may enter a college or university campus. This de facto takes away the right of the board of regents or other governing board to determine who may enroll and/or be a student at a university. Because of the probable unconstitutionality of SB 525, the state is likely to incur great legal expense in defending itself against a suit brought based on the unconstitutionality. The House adopted the legislation in spite of knowledge and warning that the bill might well be unconstitutional and bring upon the state great legal expense in litigating to defend this legislation."

Rep. Martinez, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted against the passage of this bill because I believe that it clearly violates the constitutional autonomy of Michigan universities. The bill is, further overly broad in description of the crimes for which a person may be prohibited from the property of any Michigan college or university, possibly resulting in effective expulsion. In adopting this bill, despite warnings of questionable constitutionality, I believe the legislature is purposefully exposing the state to the potential of legal challenge. Once again, the people of Michigan may have the opportunity to pay the Attorney General and the ACLU to fight out this question in the courts."

Rep. Bogardus, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on Senate Bill 525 because the bill violates the First Amendment of the U.S. and Michigan Constitution 'Freedom of Speech and Assembly' and the Michigan's constitutional provision providing that our public colleges and universities have autonomy to carry out their own policies. This bill is too extreme and provides penalties in addition to the criminal penalties imposed for any misdemeanor or felony that the judge decides. If this bill becomes law it will be ripe for prosecutorial and judicial abuse."

Rep. Minore, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

This bill is patently political and is both extreme and chilling. It violates, in my opinion, basic constitutional rights. The bill bans from any college any student convicted of various kinds of civil disorder. The irony is that a student could, under some circumstances, be convicted of manslaughter or other serious crimes and enroll in college. A sister or brother, however, convicted of relatively simple civil disorder--in addition to court imposed penalties--could be banned from college enrollment for up to two years. The bill was introduced as a patently political and overzealous response to the MSU riots. The so called remedies are extreme!"

Rep. Lockwood, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I believe this bill circumvents the local school board of trustee's ability to make prudent decisions on behalf of their student body."

Rep. Scott, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on SB 525. I believe it is a local issue, and the colleges should have that authority to reprimand."

Rep. Vaughn, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

Once again, the majority party has chosen to throw local control and constitutional rights out the window. It has been argued that university regents are elected statewide while judges are locally elected. What a myopic argument! It is unlikely that the regents will be the ones to decide whether a student is readmitted or not. It will more than likely be a panel of teachers and administrators who will decide that. Let the university make the decision on what to do with errant students not demand that judges make that decision.

In 1951, when I was a high school student in the state of Alabama I was expelled from high school for leading a strike against my local racist board of education for firing four of our best teachers. Even the state of Alabama Legislature did not have a law like this one. My high school was allowed to make the decision on whether or not to readmit me. I was readmitted and graduated with honors.

This Legislature must stop dictating to the people of this state on what and what not to do. The people don't need babysitters they need liberty.

Vote No on this 'Made for the press' and 'soundbite' of a bill!"

Rep. Hale, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on Senate Bill 525 because of the debate I heard on both sides of the aisle on this issue reminded me and was very characteristic of the House of Representatives and its members. So in the long run we could be putting our place of assembly in jeopardy."

Rep. Hansen, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on this bill because the scope of the bill raises questions about its constitutionality and it provides an opportunity to punish lawful civil dissent while seeking to legitimately repress violent criminal behavior."

Rep. Basham, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on Senate Bill 525 because the bill violates the First Amendment of the U.S. and Michigan Constitution 'Freedom of Speech and Assembly' and the Michigan's constitutional provision providing that our public colleges and universities have autonomy to carry out their own policies. This bill is too extreme and provides penalties in addition to the criminal penalties imposed for any misdemeanor or felony that the judge decides. If this bill becomes law it will be ripe for prosecutorial and judicial abuse."

Rep. Dennis, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

Members of the house, I voted no on SB 525 for a few reasons: one, if the Boston Tea Party happened today, many of our beloved country men and women would not be able to attend MIT or Harvard. Secondly, if Jesus Christ had thrown out the many changers in the temple, and the temple was within a half mile of a Michigan public university he would have been charged in the temple he would have been charged with disorderly conduct and malicious destruction of property therefore denying him entrance to a Michigan public institution of higher learning."

Rep. Jacobs, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted no on Senate Bill 525 because I feel that it is unconstitutional. It is a repressive reaction to an unfortunate event that occurred at Michigan State University. Students who already have been punished by the courts could be banned from public universities. They will be doubly punished by this legislation. Prisoners can currently earn a GED in prison. Are we now setting a precedent that will take the 'correct' out of corrections? This is also a local control issue. I feel that the elected trustees and regents of the universities, not the courts or the legislature, should decide who should be qualified for admission to their universities. What ever happened to compassionate conservatism?"

Rep. Jamnick, having reserved the right to explain her protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

My opposition to this bill is based on it containing 'unlawful assembly' as a reason to be banned. Unlawful assembly is often a non-violent situation. This bill runs the risk of a constitutional challenge due to interfering with a person's 1st amendment rights. It is not my desire to support unlawful activities and currently there are other means for the law enforcement and judicial officials to deal with such manners."

Rep. Woodward, having reserved the right to explain his protest against the passage of the bill, made the following statement:

"Mr. Speaker and members of the House:

I voted against senate bill 525 because it should not contain 'unlawful assembly' as a reason to be banned on college campuses because unlawful assembly if often a non-violent situation.

College boards have the authority to enact policies that punish individuals who act inappropriately and even expel them if they see fit. This legislation usurps the local authority of such boards. This bill violates the First Amendment of the U.S and Michigan Constitution 'Freedom of Speech and Assembly' and the Michigan's constitutional provision providing that our public colleges and universities have autonomy to carry out their own policies. Amendments were offered to strictly punish violent rioters, but were defeated. Had they been passed I would have supported the bill. Since they did not, I could not support such poor public policy."

(b) "Attorney" means, if appointed to represent a child in a proceeding under section 2(b) or (c) of this chapter, an attorney serving as the child's legal advocate in a traditional attorney-client relationship with the child, as governed by the Michigan rules of professional conduct. An attorney defined under this subdivision owes the same duties of undivided loyalty, confidentiality, and zealous representation of the child's expressed wishes as the attorney would to an adult client. For the purpose of a notice required under these sections, attorney includes a child's lawyer-guardian ad litem.

(c) "Case service plan" means the plan developed by an agency and prepared pursuant to section 18f of this chapter that includes services to be provided by and responsibilities and obligations of the agency and activities, responsibilities, and obligations of the parent. The case service plan may be referred to using different names than case service plan including, but not limited to, a parent/agency agreement or a parent/agency treatment plan and service agreement.

(d) "Foster care" means care provided to a juvenile in a foster family home, foster family group home, or juvenile CHILD caring institution licensed or approved under 1973 PA 116, MCL 722.111 to 722.128, or care provided to a juvenile in a relative's home under a court order.

(e) "Guardian ad litem" means an individual whom the court appoints to assist the court in determining the child's best interests. A guardian ad litem does not need to be an attorney.

(f) "Lawyer-guardian ad litem" means an attorney appointed under section 17c of this chapter. A lawyer-guardian ad litem represents the child, and has the powers and duties, as set forth in section 17d of this chapter.

(i) Section 427 or 437 of the revised probate code, 1978 PA 642, MCL 700.427 and 700.437 5213 OR 5219 OF THE ESTATE AND PROTECTED INDIVIDUALS CODE, 1998 PA 386, MCL 700.5213 AND 700.5219.

(iv) The child placing agency responsible for the child's care in foster care.

(2) If a juvenile is alleged to be within the provisions of section 2(b) of this chapter, the court may authorize a petition to be filed at the conclusion of the preliminary hearing or inquiry. The court may authorize the petition upon a showing of probable cause that 1 or more of the allegations in the petition are true and fall within the provisions of section 2(b) of this chapter. If a petition is before the court because the family independence agency is required to submit the petition under section 17 of the child protection law, 1975 PA 238, MCL 722.637, the court shall hold a hearing on the petition within 24 hours or on the next business day after the petition is submitted, at which hearing the court shall consider at least the matters governed by subsections (4) and (5).

(3) Except as provided in subsection (5), if a petition under subsection (2) is authorized, the court may release the juvenile in the custody of either of the juvenile's parents or the juvenile's guardian or custodian under reasonable terms and conditions necessary for either the juvenile's physical health or mental well-being.

(4) The court may order a parent, guardian, custodian, nonparent adult, or other person residing in a child's home to leave the home and, except as the court orders, not to subsequently return to the home if all of the following take place:

(a) A petition alleging abuse of the child by the parent, guardian, custodian, nonparent adult, or other person is authorized under subsection (2).

(b) The court after a hearing finds probable cause to believe the parent, guardian, custodian, nonparent adult, or other person committed the abuse.

(c) The court finds on the record that the presence in the home of the person alleged to have committed the abuse presents a substantial risk of harm to the child's life, physical health, or mental well-being.

(5) If a petition alleges abuse by a person described in subsection (4), regardless of whether the court orders the alleged abuser to leave the child's home under subsection (4), the court shall not leave the child in or return the child to the child's home or place the child with a person not licensed under 1973 PA 116, MCL 722.111 to 722.128, unless the court finds that the conditions of custody at the placement and with the individual with whom the child is placed are adequate to safeguard the child from the risk of harm to the child's life, physical health, or mental well-being.

(6) In determining whether to enter an order under subsection (4), the court may consider whether the parent who is to remain in the juvenile's home is married to the person to be removed or has a legal right to retain possession of the home.

(7) An order entered under subsection (4) may also contain 1 or more of the following terms or conditions:

(a) The court may require the alleged abusive parent to pay appropriate support to maintain a suitable home environment for the juvenile during the duration of the order.

(b) The court may order the alleged abusive person, according to terms the court may set, to surrender to a local law enforcement agency any firearms or other potentially dangerous weapons the alleged abusive person owns, possesses, or uses.

(11) If a juvenile is removed from his or her home, the court shall permit the juvenile's parent to have frequent parenting time with the juvenile.
