    SMARTER on crime BETTER for communities Senate Majority Leader Mike Shirkey and Speaker Lee Chatfield are joined today by a bipartisan group of seventeen Michigan Senators and Representatives sponsoring bills based on recommendations from the Michigan Joint Task Force on Jail and Pretrial Incarceration. The package aims to focus jail use and related taxpayer costs and collateral consequences on cases that involve a danger to the public. The bills address decision points throughout the justice system that contribute to Michigan’s county jail populations, balancing the goals of protecting the public and safeguarding the rights of all people. The Task Force found that Michigan’s jail population had tripled in just 35 years, that most admissions were for misdemeanors and low-level offenses, and that changes to state law could safely reduce jail populations, protect and support crime victims, and prioritize law enforcement and judicial resources for immediate threats to public safety. The bills in this package: ▶▶Eliminate driver’s license suspension ▶▶Prioritize alternatives to jail when as a penalty for offenses unrelated sentencing people for low-level to dangerous driving. offenses. Driving with a suspended license was the While most people pass through jail quickly, third most common reason for jail admission those who stay longer than a month take in Michigan. Driver’s licenses can be up the majority of jail bed space and are suspended for a wide variety of offenses, often serving a criminal sentence. Unless even violations unrelated to driving. In 2018, necessary, low-level offenses should be nearly 358,000 licenses were suspended for sentenced to jail alternatives, and many failure to appear in court or failure to pay mandatory minimum jail sentences should court fines and fees.
