3 PA 175, MCL 764.27a, if the court designates the case under sec-
4 tion 2d of this chapter as a case in which the juvenile is to be

14 PA 236, MCL 600.2950 and 600.2950a, is proper in the county of

16 dent does not live in this state, venue for the initial action is

18 Sec. 2d. (1) In a petition or amended petition alleging
19 that a juvenile is within the court's jurisdiction under
20 section 2(a)(1) of this chapter for a specified juvenile viola-
21 tion, the prosecuting attorney may designate the case as a case
22 in which the juvenile is to be tried in the same manner as an
23 adult. An amended petition making a designation under this sub-
24 section shall be filed only by leave of the court.
25 (2) In a petition alleging that a juvenile is within the
26 court's jurisdiction under section 2(a)(1) of this chapter for an
27 offense other than a specified juvenile violation, the
02632'99 b * 11
1 prosecuting attorney may request that the court designate the
2 case as a case in which the juvenile is to be tried in the same
3 manner as an adult. The court may designate the case following a
4 hearing if it determines that the best interests of the juvenile
5 and the public would be served by the juvenile being tried in the
6 same manner as an adult. In determining whether the best inter-
7 ests of the juvenile and the public would be served, the court
8 shall consider all of the following factors, giving greater
9 weight to the seriousness of the alleged offense and the
10 juvenile's prior delinquency record than to the other factors:
11 (a) The seriousness of the alleged offense in terms of com-
12 munity protection, including, but not limited to, the existence
13 of any aggravating factors recognized by the sentencing guide-
14 lines, the use of a firearm or other dangerous weapon, and the
15 impact on any victim.
16 (b) The juvenile's culpability in committing the alleged
17 offense, including, but not limited to, the level of the
18 juvenile's participation in planning and carrying out the offense
19 and the existence of any aggravating or mitigating factors recog-
20 nized by the sentencing guidelines.
21 (c) The juvenile's prior record of delinquency including,
22 but not limited to, any record of detention, any police record,
23 any school record, or any other evidence indicating prior delin-
24 quent behavior.
25 (d) The juvenile's programming history, including, but not
26 limited to, the juvenile's past willingness to participate
27 meaningfully in available programming.
02632'99 b * 12
1 (e) The adequacy of the punishment or programming available
2 in the juvenile justice system.
3 (f) The dispositional options available for the juvenile.
4 (3) If a case is designated under this section, the case
5 shall be set for trial in the same manner as the trial of an
6 adult in a court of general criminal jurisdiction unless a proba-
7 ble cause hearing is required under subsection (4).
8 (4) If the petition in a case designated under this section
9 alleges an offense that if committed by an adult would be a
10 felony or punishable by imprisonment for more than 1 year, the
11 court shall conduct a probable cause hearing not later than 14
12 days after the case is designated to determine whether there is
13 probable cause to believe the offense was committed and whether
14 there is probable cause to believe the juvenile committed the
15 offense. This hearing may be combined with the designation hear-
16 ing under subsection (2) for an offense other than a specified
17 juvenile offense. A probable cause hearing under this section is
18 the equivalent of the preliminary examination in a court of gen-
19 eral criminal jurisdiction and satisfies the requirement for that
20 hearing. A probable cause hearing shall be conducted by a judge
21 other than the judge who will try the case if the juvenile is
22 tried in the same manner as an adult.
23 (5) If the court determines there is probable cause to
24 believe the offense alleged in the petition was committed and
25 probable cause to believe the juvenile committed the offense, the
26 case shall be set for trial in the same manner as the trial of an
27 adult in a court of general criminal jurisdiction.
02632'99 b * 13
1 (6) If the court determines that an offense did not occur or
2 there is not probable cause to believe the juvenile committed the
3 offense, the court shall dismiss the petition. If the court
4 determines there is probable cause to believe another offense was
5 committed and there is probable cause to believe the juvenile
6 committed that offense, the court may further determine whether
7 the case should be designated as a case in which the juvenile
8 should be tried in the same manner as an adult as provided in
9 subsection (2). If the court designates the case, the case shall
10 be set for trial in the same manner as the trial of an adult in a
11 court of general criminal jurisdiction.
12 (7) If a case is designated under this section, the proceed-
13 ings are criminal proceedings and shall afford all procedural
14 protections and guarantees to which the juvenile would be enti-
15 tled if being tried for the offense in a court of general crimi-
16 nal jurisdiction. A plea of guilty or nolo contendere or a ver-
17 dict of guilty shall result in entry of a judgment of
18 conviction. The conviction shall have the same effect and
19 liabilities as if it had been obtained in a court of general
20 criminal jurisdiction.
21 (8) Following a judgment of conviction, the court shall
22 enter a disposition or impose a sentence authorized under
23 section 18(1)(n) of this chapter.

7 alternative sentence permitted under those sections
THAT
8 SECTION if the court determines that the best interests of the
9 public would be served. The court may delay imposing a sentence
10 of imprisonment under this subdivision for a period not longer
11 than the period during which the court has jurisdiction over the
12 juvenile under this chapter by entering an order of disposition
13 delaying imposition of sentence and placing the juvenile on pro-
14 bation upon the terms and conditions it considers appropriate,
15 including any disposition under this section. If the court
16 delays imposing sentence under this section, section 18i of this
17 chapter applies. If the court imposes sentence, it shall enter a
18 judgment of sentence. If the court imposes a sentence of impris-
19 onment, the juvenile shall receive credit against the sentence
20 for time served before sentencing. In determining whether to
21 enter an order of disposition or impose a sentence under this
22 subdivision, the court shall consider all of the following fac-
23 tors, giving greater weight to the seriousness of the offense and
24 the juvenile's prior record:
25 (i) The seriousness of the offense in terms of community
26 protection, including, but not limited to, the existence of any
27 aggravating factors recognized by the sentencing guidelines, the
02632'99 b * 24
1 use of a firearm or other dangerous weapon, and the impact on any
2 victim.
3 (ii) The juvenile's culpability in committing the offense,
4 including, but not limited to, the level of the juvenile's par-
5 ticipation in planning and carrying out the offense and the exis-
6 tence of any aggravating or mitigating factors recognized by the
7 sentencing guidelines.
8 (iii) The juvenile's prior record of delinquency
including,
9 but not limited to, any A record of detention,
any police
10 record, any school record, or any
other evidence indicating
11 prior delinquent behavior.
12 (iv) The juvenile's programming history, including, but
not
13 limited to, the juvenile's past willingness to participate mean-
14 ingfully in available programming.
15 (v) The adequacy of the punishment or programming
available
16 in the juvenile justice system.
17 (vi) The dispositional options available for the juvenile.
18 (2) An order of disposition placing a juvenile in or commit-
19 ting a juvenile to care outside of the juvenile's own home and
20 under state, county juvenile agency, or court supervision shall
21 contain a provision for reimbursement by the juvenile, parent,
22 guardian, or custodian to the court for the cost of care or
23 service. The order shall be reasonable, taking into account both
24 the income and resources of the juvenile, parent, guardian, or
25 custodian. The amount may be based upon the guidelines and model
26 schedule created under subsection (6). If the juvenile is
27 receiving an adoption support subsidy under section 115j(4) of
02632'99 b * 25
1 the social welfare act, 1939 PA 280, MCL 400.115j, the amount
2 shall not exceed the amount of the support subsidy. The reim-
3 bursement provision applies during the entire period the juvenile
4 remains in care outside of the juvenile's own home and under
5 state, county juvenile agency, or court supervision, unless the
6 juvenile is in the permanent custody of the court. The court
7 shall provide for the collection of all amounts ordered to be
8 reimbursed and the money collected shall be accounted for and
9 reported to the county board of commissioners. Collections to
10 cover delinquent accounts or to pay the balance due on reimburse-
11 ment orders may be made after a juvenile is released or dis-
12 charged from care outside the juvenile's own home and under
13 state, county juvenile agency, or court supervision. Twenty-five
14 percent of all amounts collected pursuant to an order entered
15 under this subsection shall be credited to the appropriate fund
16 of the county to offset the administrative cost of collections.
17 The balance of all amounts collected under an order entered under
18 this subsection shall be divided in the same ratio in which the
19 county, state, and federal government participate in the cost of
20 care outside the juvenile's own home and under state, county
21 juvenile agency, or court supervision. The court may also col-
22 lect benefits paid for the cost of care of a court ward from the
23 government of the United States. Money collected for juveniles
24 placed by the court with or committed to the family
independence
25 agency MICHIGAN YOUTH AUTHORITY or a county
juvenile agency
26 shall be accounted for and reported on an individual juvenile
27 basis. In cases of delinquent accounts, the court may also enter
02632'99 b * 26
1 an order to intercept state or federal tax refunds of a juvenile,
2 parent, guardian, or custodian and initiate the necessary offset
3 proceedings in order to recover the cost of care or service. The
4 court shall send to the person who is the subject of the inter-
5 cept order advance written notice of the proposed offset. The
6 notice shall include notice of the opportunity to contest the
7 offset on the grounds that the intercept is not proper because of
8 a mistake of fact concerning the amount of the delinquency or the
9 identity of the person subject to the order. The court shall
10 provide for the prompt reimbursement of an amount withheld in
11 error or an amount found to exceed the delinquent amount.
12 (3) An order of disposition placing a juvenile in the
13 juvenile's own home under subsection (1)(b) may contain a provi-
14 sion for reimbursement by the juvenile, parent, guardian, or cus-
15 todian to the court for the cost of service. If an order is
16 entered under this subsection, an amount due shall be determined
17 and treated in the same manner provided for an order entered
18 under subsection (2).
19 (4) An order directed to a parent or a person other than the
20 juvenile is not effective and binding on the parent or other
21 person unless opportunity for hearing is given by issuance of
22 summons or notice as provided in sections 12 and 13 of this chap-
23 ter and until a copy of the order, bearing the seal of the court,
24 is served on the parent or other person as provided in section 13
25 of this chapter.
26 (5) If the court appoints an attorney to represent a
27 juvenile, parent, guardian, or custodian, the court may require
02632'99 b * 27
1 in an order entered under this section that the juvenile, parent,
2 guardian, or custodian reimburse the court for attorney fees.
3 (6) The office of the state court administrator, under the
4 supervision and direction of the supreme court and in consulta-
5 tion with the family independence agency and the Michigan probate
6 judges association, shall create guidelines and a model schedule
7 the court may use in determining the ability of the juvenile,
8 parent, guardian, or custodian to pay for care and any
costs of
9 service ordered under subsection (2) or (3). The guidelines and
10 model schedule shall take into account both the income and
11 resources of the juvenile, parent, guardian, or custodian.
12 (7) If the court finds that a juvenile comes under section
13 30 of this chapter, the court shall order the juvenile or the
14 juvenile's parent to pay restitution as provided in sections 30
15 and 31 of this chapter and in sections 44 and 45 of the crime
16 victim's rights act, 1985 PA 87, MCL 780.794 and 780.795.
17 (8) If the court imposes restitution as a condition of pro-
18 bation, the court shall require the juvenile to do either of the
19 following as an additional condition of probation:
20 (a) Engage in community service or, with the victim's con-
21 sent, perform services for the victim.
22 (b) Seek and maintain paid employment and pay restitution to
23 the victim from the earnings of that employment.
24 (9) If the court finds that the juvenile is in intentional
25 default of the payment of restitution, a court may, as provided
26 in section 31 of this chapter, revoke or alter the terms and
27 conditions of probation for nonpayment of restitution. If a
02632'99 b * 28
1 juvenile who is ordered to engage in community service
2 intentionally refuses to perform the required community service,
3 the court may revoke or alter the terms and conditions of
4 probation.
5 (10) The court shall not enter an order of disposition for a
6 juvenile offense as defined in section 1A of 1925 PA 289, MCL
7 28.241A, or a judgment of sentence for a conviction until the
8 court has examined the court file and has determined that the
9 juvenile's fingerprints have been taken as required by section 3
10 of 1925 PA 289, MCL 28.243. If a juvenile has not had his or her
11 fingerprints taken, the court shall do either of the following:
12 (a) Order the juvenile to submit himself or herself to the
13 police agency that arrested or obtained the warrant for the
14 juvenile's arrest so the juvenile's fingerprints can be taken.
15 (b) Order the juvenile committed to the sheriff's custody
16 for taking the juvenile's fingerprints.

22 disposition, conviction, acquittal, or dismissal on forms
23 approved by the state court administrator, as required by section
24 3 of 1925 PA 289, MCL 28.243. The report to the department of

27 imposed.

2 disposition. A juvenile shall not be placed in a juvenile boot
3 camp pursuant to an order of disposition more than once, except
